Popular culture has lost one of its greatest mavericks.
Always outspoken, never outclassed as a manager.
Glasser - Tremel23 February 2010
Glasser’s debut UK release comes out on Young Turks on 29th March. Tremel comes with remixes from Astronomer, the mysterious Romantic Three and Jamie xx.
The Los Angeles based multi-instrumentalist is on tour in the UK with The xx in early March and we’ll be announcing several London appearances shortly. Her band for the tour comprises Fever Ray producers Van Rivers & The Subliminal Kid
I saw her in AUG 2009 give this mesmerising performance on The Auerglass, an instrument of her own design, that can only be played with a partner.
Her partner in this footage is The Auerglass’s co-designer, Tauba Auerbach, Glasser’s design collaborator on Tremel.

The xx - 'xx'14 August 2009 The-xx
2 years in the pipe line and The xx are finally ready to release their debut album, ‘xx’.
This being the modern world; full of instant communication techniques, the world wide web and complete freedom of global information, we decided it would be wise to release the album at different dates in different countries.
So…
The UK/Europe/World:
You can get your album from the 17th of August. I highly recommend you buy it from Rough Trade as they’ll not only send you your copy ASAP but they’ll give you a free bonus CD with lots of covers on it.
USA/North America:
I’m sorry but you have to wait for your physical copy of the album: it’s coming out on the 20th of October.
HOWEVER: if you pre-order it from here they’ll send you your album in October but will also give you a .
Here are two videos we made for two of the album tracks, so you know about 2/11ths of what you’re getting into.
The xx – Crystalised

Vimeo08 June 2009 The-xx
Hello All.
We’ve taken down The xx’s ‘Crystalised’ and Kid Harpoon’s ‘Stealing Cars’ videos from www.vimeo.com. We didn’t want to have to do this but Vimeo’s terms state that any video uploaded to the site become’s their property. We probably should have read this before uploading, but now that we know we can’t justify giving away the rights to one of our artist’s videos, so we’re just going to have to stick to youtube.
Enjoy:
