Listen: Two new Jamie xx tracks
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater June 6th, 2011

Jamie xx, also known as Jamie FROM The xx has been nothing if not prolific. Although that band have only released one record so far, Mr xx has been keeping himself busy, remixing Gil-Scott Heron's I'm New Here and also doing some solo stuff, which is what we concern ourselves with today.

His first single is released today via Numbers and you can hear the lead track 'Far Nearer' and the other track which accompanies it 'Beat For', both below, via Numbers' SoundCloud.
