xxxy - I Know This (Can't be Love)

on Tuesday 20 November 2012
Somehow managed to go without posting this, one of my favourite songs of the year.


Stereogum:

"On paper, "I Know This (Can't Be Love)" is the type of song title that would be released in some awful, tabloid-reproted post-breakup haze by some fading young Disney star. In reality, it's actually an incessant earworm track form British producer xxxy, in advance of his Everything EP. It splices and repeats a sped-up sample of the titular phrase over the top of warped synth phaser chords, breezing pleasantly along until the three and a half minute mark, where the beat really kicks in, ratching the song's groove another level. Listen below. [Stereogum]"
