STREAM: The xx - Chained
Songs from The xx's upcoming Coexist (out September 11 on Young Turks) are beginning to flow in a slow stream on par with the pensiveness that these Londoners employ onstage. Here, the second such track, "Chained," takes it time out of the gate with singers Romy Madley-Croft and Oliver Sim exchanging whispery vocals. As it plods, Jamie Smith drops in an austere, ambient dubstep-nodding beat to usher the tune toward its conclusion.
