Many of you will already be aware of this, but since my life is best described as a series of catch-up sessions, I only got to watch it last night.
It’s The xx’s performance with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra from last week. It’s more Edinburgh-centric than you think, because they played at the Usher Hall about ten days ago.
As a performance, it’s enigmatic; set list that appears to work almost as seamlessly as their studio albums but which involves tracks from both previous LP efforts, but augmented in several fascinating ways by the addition of classical instrumentation. Give it a watch, in any case.
This is gorgeous. I love that they put ‘Intro’ halfway through.
