The XX played six songs from their forthcoming, second album at an intimate gig at London’s Chats Palace on May 15th
Tickets for the 200-capacity show, which followed Monday’s gig at the Electrowerkz venue, were only available by winning a lottery on the band’s website.
Showcasing newly-reworked tracks from their 2009 Mercury Prize-winning debut ‘xx’ alongside the new songs, the band unveiled a slower version ‘Crystallised’ alongside more dance orientated new material.
Jamie Smith took to centre stage on one new track to play steel drums, reminiscent of his Instrumental Track entitled ’Touch Me’, which debuted on anAustralian radio station back in February.
