Oliver Sim is the bassist and vocalist of the xx. Fruit is his second solo song, released today, and it is very good.

Romy is the guitarist and vocalist of the xx. Lifetime came out September 2020. It is a super-fun track. Bonus points because the video is directed by my graphic design hero Peter Saville.

Jamie xx is the producer / everything else for the xx. Idontknow came out May 2020. Jamie produced Oliver's new songs. Jamie's solo album In Colour is one of my favourites and the song I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times) will always get me in a good mood.

Oh yeah, the xx are pretty great all together too.
