Donald worked with the xx during the recording sessions and strived to reproduce the intimate, unembellished quality of their demos. The bands Jamie Smith produced xx on his laptop and created electronic beats for the songs, which he then mixed in a detailed process with Mc. Donald. Although the xx had been strongly influenced by R B acts, the album also drew comparisons from critics to alternative rock, electronica, and post punk sounds. The melancholic songs on xx featured minimalist arrangements and were built around Smiths beats, Oliver Sims basslines, and sparse guitar figures played by Baria Qureshi and Romy Madley Croft, who employed reverb in her lead guitar parts. Most of them were sung as low key duets by Croft and Sim, both of whom wrote emotional lyrics about love, intimacy, loss, and desire.

Although none of its singles became hits, xx benefited commercially from the licensing of its songs to television programs and the bands Mercury Prize win for the album in 2. When Qureshi was dismissed from the group shortly after the albums release, the xx continued to play as a trio on a protracted concert tour that helped increase their fanbase, reputation in the press, and confidence as performers. The record proved highly influential in subsequent years, as its distinctive stylistic elements were incorporated by many indie bands and top selling pop acts. In 2. 01. 3, xx was ranked number 2.

Croft and Sim played guitar and bass, respectively, and dueted as the bands vocalists, while Smith programmed electronic beats for their songs, and Qureshi doubled as a keyboardist and additional guitarist. During late nights, Croft and Sim either shared lyrics with each other through instant messaging or rehearsed quietly with Smith and Qureshi in their bedrooms so they would not disturb the rest of the household. The xx were greatly influenced by American R B producers such as The Neptunes and Timbaland, whose minimalist productions incorporated vocal harmonies, clapping percussion, unconventional samples, and pronounced beats. The band covered Aaliyahs Hot Like Fire 1. Background Music For Friendship Mp3 SongWomack Womacks Teardrops 1. R B hits when they performed live and recorded their demos. After posting the demos on their Myspace page, the xx drew the interest of Young Turks, an imprint label of XL Recordings. They submitted the demos to XLs head office at Ladbroke Grove and were subsequently signed to a recording contract. The group worked with producers such as Diplo and Kwes, to no success before they were introduced to audio engineer Rodaidh Mc. Donald by the xxs manager Caius Pawson, who gave him three CDs of demos titled Early Demos, Recorded in Rehearsal Space, and What Producers Did Wrong. Mc. Donald was impressed by the intimate quality and use of silence on the demos, which both he and the band felt may have challenged other producers who wanted to incorporate their individual tastes Theyd worked with about four other producers before then that hadand no discredit to themI guess theyd seen a lot of space to add a kind of stamp on. There was a lot of empty space in the xxs music, even then, in the Early Demos. But we just found that the best stuff was the most sparse. Recording and productionedit. Romy Madley Croft in 2. Epiphone Les Paul, the guitar she played on the album. At the behest of XL owner Richard Russell, the xx recorded their debut album at the labels small, in house recording studioXL Studiomaking them the first act to record there. It was once the head office buildings rear garage before Russell transformed it at the beginning of 2. XLs artists. Mc. Donald was assigned in September to manage and properly equip the room, which he liked because it was soundproof and isolated from the rest of the office, so it wasnt like you were working in the record companys presence. Croft, on the other hand, called it a pretty confined space the size of a bathroom. Over the next few months, Mc. Donald and Pawson prepared a budget for the label to fund the studios preliminary setup, which would have recording equipment specifically suited for the xx, including a modestly sized soundboard ideal for recording a small group. The xx started to record the album in December with Mc. Donald, who engineered the sessions. They would usually record at night after XLs staff had left, which Croft said made it feel isolated and quite creepy. To reproduce the sound he had heard on the bands demos, Mc. Donald had them write down their instruments settings and test different areas of the studio to determine where he should record each member. Autorijden Van A Tot Z - Met Theorie.

Some of Qureshi and Crofts guitars were also done in the hallway. Qureshi played a Gibson SG with a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe or Blues Deluxe amplifier, while Croft played an Epiphone Les Paul on most of the album and a Gibson ES 3. For her lead guitar parts, Croft used a delay pedal and a Roland Micro Cube amplifier with a reverb setting, which Mc. Donald felt would best replicate her icy, echo filled sound on the demos. After all the instrumental elements had been tracked, Croft and Sim recorded their vocals together, rarely singing backup to one another on any of the songs. Mc. Donald believed it was important for the singers be in sync and share the same mental state or mood when performing full takes of songs, some of which he said benefited from when they were both quite tired and emotional. He had Croft and Sim sing into Neumann microphones on most of the songs in order to make their vocals sound as intimate and conversational as possible. The microphones were among the more expensive items he borrowed for the studios preliminary setup so XL would not be overwhelmed with a costly budget. Jamie Smith photographed in 2. Despite Mc. Donalds close involvement, the xx had been encouraged to self produce their album by Russell he believed it would remain faithful to both the bands distinctive live sound and the DIY ethic practiced at XL since its beginnings as a rave label. Smith was chosen by the rest of the group to produce xx. He used Logic 8 recording software on his Mac Pro and often worked late nights in a nearby conference room while they recorded in the studio with drafts of his beats. Smith produced rhythm tracks with an Akai MPC sampler, which he occasionally processed through a Roland RE 2. He also created click tracks for the rest of the band to keep timing when they recorded their individual parts. After those parts had been recorded, he refined and incorporated his beats into the songs for three to four weeks.
