The xx to Collaborate With BBC Orchestra

On September 19, the xx will collaborate with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra for a performance, the BBC reports. They'll play new arrangements of tracks from 2010's The xx and Coexist, as well as new, specially commissioned work. The band will work with composer Alex Baranowski, who previously worked with Underworld on music for Danny Boyle's theater production of Frankenstein.
The free concert will take place on the water, in the seaside resort of Bridlington in East Yorkshire, England as part of this fall's BBC Philharmonic Presents... series. It will be broadcast live on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 program.

The xx: 'It's abnormal for bands to share so much'

Hmmm! We are really getting into 'Hooked On Classics' or Jaz Coleman's orchestral versions of the likes of fugn 'Dark Side Of The Moon' aren't we? One problem - Coexist is probably my major musical disappointment of the year. It's just not very good at all in my opinion and I WAS expecting much more...
