What the label says about Only You, by XX Teens:

XX Teens release a new single, Only You, through Mute Records on July 14th 2008 on CD, 7" vinyl and download and features 2 exclusive B-sides (CD single) Pay The Man and (7") I Love NY.  Only You is a pre-taster for their 11-track debut album, Welcome To Goon Island, set for release two weeks later on July 28th.

Previously labelled absurd, eccentric, political, experimental, it sometimes seems people find it rather hard to get a handle on the XX Teens, yet their plan is simple. Born from the great British art school tradition their approach is to create the most interesting and expansive music possible with the limited tools they have available; an aesthetic that seeps into everything they do from videos to photos to extra curricular activities such as training dogs to dance. Yet such apparent frippery shouldn’t disguise the fact that they are able to pen rather fine songs, as Welcome To Goon Island attests.

Previous singles such as Onkawara, Darlin’ and How To Reduce The Chances Of Being A Terror Victim have already seen them bag single of the week slots in NME, praise from the likes of Zane on Radio1, front covers of Artrocker and a slot in the NME’s tracks of 2007 list. And with Welcome To Goon Island, XX Teens look set to bring a bit of depth & technicolour joy into the sometime hegemonic drabness of the current musical landscape.

The album was produced by Ross Orton (Fat Truckers, MIA, Bromheads Jacket, Kid Acne) in Sheffield at the end of 2007.

XX TEENS are: Anthony Silvester (guitar), Rich Cash (vocals), William Morrow (guitar), Macks Faulkron (drums) & Jorgen Raa (bass).
