It's been a long time since someone looked at me that way

So here's The XX's contribution to The Great Gatsby soundtrack (released in May apparently). Again, I can already visualise the scene it's intended for. It's nice to see that The XX are being used for film soundtracks, I've always thought that pretty much their entire debut album could be used in cinema, their style fits it perfectly in my opinion. Remy's vocal in particular is gorgeous in this track, and as much as hearing the soundtrack prior to seeing the film might, in some opinions, ruin the impact of the film when eventually viewed, hearing these luscious little snippets is really getting me excited to see and hear the finished result.

It's enough

It's too much



The XX seem to be taking it a lot more slowly with this demo, Open Eyes, which is apparently from their forthcoming album which is expected to be released later this year. It's just incredibly sensual music, well paced and expertly layered - not that I expect anything less from the likes of one of my favourite all time live acts. Enjoy.
