Jamie XX – Far Nearer EP

So if you didn’t know already, Jamie XX has slewed along with a solo side project that has allowed him more creative freedom away from The XX base.

Usually in these cases you lose some of the popular elements from the original but Jamie XX has done the opposite, dialing in trodden basslines and layers upon layers of sound that have worked effectively on jams for Adele, FaltyDL and an entire album with the late great Gil-Scott Heron.

The most recent drop in the Jamie XX ocean is the ‘Far Nearer’ EP that has felt the sting of a late release due to sampling issues. The original a-side track ‘Far Nearer’ featured some pitched Janet Jackson vocals that had to be re-recorded for the official release (bummer, man).
