Description

To commemorate their appearance at Fuji Rock '26, a Japan-exclusive deluxe edition CD of The xx's legendary debut album "xx," with five special tracks added, is now available. Released in 2009, "xx" is a landmark debut album that redefined indie pop with its extremely stripped-down minimalist sound and melancholic, intimate melodies. It dominated year-end best album lists around the world and won the Mercury Prize, one of the UK's most prestigious music awards. It also achieved exceptional success for a new artist, going platinum in the UK and gold in the US. This deluxe edition contains the same contents as the limited LP that was released exclusively through the band's official website in 2025 alongside the announcement of their return, attracting considerable attention. While presenting the quiet, timeless appeal of the debut album "xx" anew from today's perspective, the release also brings the band's origins and subsequent path into focus. The additional tracks include covers of classics such as Womack & Womack's "Teardrops," Kyla's "Do You Mind?," and Aaliyah's "Hot Like Fire," as well as the original tracks "Blood Red Moon" and "Insects." The package also features a wide-spine jacket with a die-cut of the iconic "X," making it an appealing collector's item. The xx commented on this release: "Looking back at 2009 brings back so many memories. It feels like another world. This album is important to us, and we hope it is still important to you too. Thank you for being with us all this time." Includes liner notes and lyrics with Japanese translations.

エックス・エックス (デラックス) / ザ・エックス・エックス

フジロック'26出演記念! ザ・エックス・エックスの伝説のデビュー・アルバム『xx』にスペシャル音源5曲を追加した日本限定デラックス盤CDが登場! 2009年にリリースされた『xx』は、極限まで音数を削ぎ落としたミニマルなサウンドと、メランコリックで親密なメロディによってインディー・ポップの価値観を刷新した記念碑的デビュー作。世界中の年間ベスト・アルバムを席巻し、英国最高峰の音楽賞Mercury Prizeを受賞。UKでプラチナム、USでゴールド・ディスクを獲得するなど、新人としては異例の成功を収めた。本作は、2025年にバンドの再始動を告げるアナウンスとともにオフィシャルサイト限定で発売され話題を呼んだ限定LPと同内容を収録したデラックス・エディション。デビュー作『xx』が持つ静謐で色褪せることのない魅力を現在の視点から改めて提示しつつ、バンドの原点とその後の軌跡を浮かび上がらせる内容となっている。追加トラックには、ウォーマック&ウォーマック「Teardrops」、カイラ「Do You Mind?」、アリーヤ「Hot Like Fire」といった名曲カヴァーに加え、オリジナル楽曲「Blood Red Moon」「Insects」を収録。さらに、アイコニックな"X"のダイカットを施したワイドスパイン・ジャケット仕様で、コレクターズ・アイテムとしても魅力的な一枚となっている。ザ・エックス・エックスはこの作品について次のように語っている。「2009年を振り返ると、たくさんの思い出が蘇ってきます。別世界のような気分になります。このアルバムは私たちにとって大切なもので、みなさんにとってもまだ大切であればと思います。ずっと一緒にいてくれて、ありがとう。」 解説書・歌詞対訳付。※本商品は金曜販売開始商品のため、商品のお届けは発売日当日以降になります。
