0142 The XX – Sunset @ 3:04

Electronic, R&B

Mike October 8, 2012

There were lots of choices on this standout track from the new XX album. I had 2 parts chosen as the best part, when I realized it’s this part at the end that has it. It’s the post club, post dubstep, underwater atmospherics that take this part to the next level. It’s Jamie XX’s shout out to London, to Burial, and to his contemporaries in the happening UK bass scene. It’s a headphone listen, and oh man I’m hoping for a remix to hear this part get extended.  Best Part on the clip below at 0:33.

Sunset 2:30 – 3:15

It could be the intro, the drum drop, the drum break, the drum solo, the bass hit, the sample, the interlude, the build, the peak, the breakdown, the loop, the skit, the extro... the best part of the song baby!
