It’s been five long years since The xx’s last album and four long years since the UK-based trio performed in Chicago. Needless to say, fans have been anxiously awaiting their return.
In January they ended the wait with the release of their latest album, I See You, to critical acclaim. And on May 1st, Chicagoans were finally rewarded with a sold-out show at the Aragon Ballroom.
They even brought London singer/songwriter Sampha with them to open. He released his gorgeous debut album, Process, in February.
