I See You marks a new era for the London trio of Romy Madley Croft, Oliver Sim and Jamie Smith, both sonically and in terms of process. For while xx and Coexist were both made in relative isolation in London, I See You was recorded between March 2014 and August 2016 in New York, Marfa TX, Reykjavik, Los Angeles and London, and is characterised by a more outward-looking, open and expansive approach. Produced by Jamie Smith and Rodaidh McDonald, I See You is The xx at their boldest yet, performing with more clarity and ambition than ever before.LP - Standard Vinyl: 10 tracks, in a debossed mirri board sleeve with a CD copy of the album.LP+ - Indie Vinyl: 10 tracks on limited-edition clear vinyl, in a debossed mirri board sleeve with a CD copy of the album.
