Song of the Week

Jamie xx crystallizes neon on The xx's third record, encasing the trio's nocturnal sound with a vibrant new glow.  After his stellar In Colour, it almost seemed a foregone conclusion that the band's palette would include a wider array of his EDM, UK garage, and rave flourishes.  But make no mistake:  I See You still shimmers under the romantic, give-and-take spells of Oliver Sim and Romy Madley Croft; it is now just cast in technicolor.  Check out the excellent dance track "I Dare You."
