The xx have unveiled their sparkling new track "Say Something Loving," the second single off the trio's upcoming LP I See You.
The track samples the Alessi Brothers' 1978 track "Do You Feel It?" and spotlights the vocal interplay of singers Oliver Sim
and Romy Madley Croft, as well as Croft's sparse yet trademark guitar playing.
"You say something loving / It's so overwhelming, the thrill of affection / Feels so unfamiliar / You say something loving,"
the singers exclaim on the infectious chorus. "Without hesitation it hits me, hits me / It feels so unfamiliar."

Billy & I want to thank all our friends and fans for the warm birthday wishes.
I have a friend on FaceBook, Peter Rodman
that we met when we were opening for
Andy Gibb on the Shadow Dancing Tour. The show was at Mile High Stadium in Denver Colorado.
We have an old friend, Joe Delauro, he was our drummer in the early days for our band Pendulum.
Great drummer and singer. Anyway...where was I?? Oh, We met Peter Rodman, he was one of the
radio people in Denver and Joe was friends with the owners of Mountain Ears Recording Studio.
Somehow we all decided to go and check it out after the show. Peter just sent this to me
recently..Thank you Peter...
During 1977, I was in my third year as Program Director and afternoon guy at KRNW, a tiny free form station in Boulder. A friend from A & M Records suggested I listen to a new group--brothers (from Long Island, like me) named 'ALESSI.' Their debut LP quickly became an afternoon fave on my radio show--and as fate would have it, the next summer I got to squire Billy and Bobby around town one night, beginning at the Blue Note and ending up in a totally impromptu all-night recording session at Mt. Ears Studios. This cassette is the result, totally recorded and mixed in the wee hours, and never released. (I'm even in there on background vocals somewhere...!)
Happy Birthday, Alessi brothers

A friend of ours saw this in the newspaper recently:
"Put Away Your Love," Alessi Brothers
Before there were Jonases, there were the Alessi Brothers -- twins Billy and Bobby from West Hempstead.
They were '70s heartthrobs, opening for Andy Gibb, and scoring hits like the bouncy
"Put Away Your Love," which reached No. 71 in 1982,
far higher than anything from the longer-lasting L.I. fave Barnaby Bye.
