Jamie xx - Far Nearer

It seems like we are in the middle of some indie Dubstep Wars, perhaps a new war that was born from the Electro Wars. I really don't know anything about dubstep, music, electro history, or anything that gives me any authority to genrefy or even analyze music, but maybe that makes me a lot like u... just another bro searching for relevant mp3s that send positive vibes in2 ur life, inspiring u to connect a USB cord from ur compy 2 ur iPod phono, loading a relevant buzz mp3 to stay with u 4evr [via on-the-go].

I just heard this song "Far Nearer" by Jamie xx, the drummer bro from the XX. His gimmick is that he usually just taps on some drum pad thing and wears all black and usually wears a black cap that a conceptual gang member would wear. In addition, he got tons of authentic press after the Gil Scott-Heron death, so u have to give him props for hopping on that inevitable death meme. Anyways, I think when it is 'all said and done' Jamie xx might be remembered as one of the greatest drummers and producers in the history of modern indie, and potentially in the modern dubsteppian genre.

I am not sure if he can go mainstream like Skrillex [via Hot Topic tweens], but maybe the XX is already mainstream in Europe. I feel like James Blake probably heard this song, and was all like 'I wish I had used more steel drums', but I also kinda wonder if Jamie xx really played steel drums, or if he just tapped out some steel drum samples on his lil pad sampler iPad app. It seems like James Blake is sorta like a 'hype buzzband', but he might flame out, or just turn into one of those fallen buzz humans that no1 really cares about even though blogs still blog abt them.

It seems like Jamie xx has really asserted himself as 'the backbone' of the xx. Sure those other 2 people can sing in sexie voices that give u an erection/wet vagine, but at the end of the day, Jamie xx provided the conceptual vibes that helped 2 make ppl 'take them srsly'.

Jamie xx realizes that steel drums are the future of indie.

We sold our guitars and pirated Ableton Live
We ditched Ableton and purchased chillwave lofi synths and 4-tracks
We put our synths on craigslist and purchased authentic Carribean steel drums
