‘ON HOLD (JAMIE XX REMIX)’
OUT TODAY B/W FOUR TET REMIX OF ‘A VIOLENT NOISE’
At the end of 2016, The xx announced their return and news of a new album (I See You) with the lead single ‘On Hold’. An undoubted highlight of one of the year’s most critically acclaimed albums, ‘On Hold’ has quickly become one of The xx’s biggest songs to date.
Today, the band’s very own Jamie xx reveals his ‘On Hold’ remix – his first official remix in over four years. It comes accompanied by a ‘remix video’ from Alasdair McLellan, who made the original ‘On Hold’ video and has been a key I See You visual collaborator. McLellan also created videos for recent xx singles ‘Say Something Loving’ and the star-studded ‘I Dare You’ video (a collaboration with The xx and Raf Simons which featured, among others, Millie Bobby Brown, Ashton Sanders, Paris Jackson, Lulu and Ernesto Cervantes).

‘Britain’s most influential modern band set the Brixton Academy alight….. No act has captured the musical zeitgeist of the past few years quite like The xx.’
(The Telegraph, UK ?????)
‘There’s really no comparisons to The xx. And if you don’t get it, see them live. You’ll get it.’ (Music News)
‘The xx are truly magical beings.’ (Reverb)
The xx have now released three hugely acclaimed albums to date – the Mercury Prize winning debut, xx and its follow up, Coexist in 2012. Since the release of Coexist, Jamie xx’s debut solo album, 2015’s In Colour, went on to become one of the year’s most successful electronic records. The xx’s new album I See You has scaled yet further heights with unanimous praise for the band’s even richer and wider tableau of technicolour sounds and absolute mastery of their craft.
Singles from I See You include: ‘Dangerous’, ‘Say Something Loving’, ‘On Hold’ and most recent ‘I Dare You’.
