Tracey Thorn – Night Time (The xx Cover)

Tracey Thorn cover of The xx’s “Night Time” finally seeing the light of day. Last summer The xx asked Tracey Thorn and her long-time partner in Everything But the Girl, Ben Watt to record a track from their 2009 self-titled debut for a special compilation, but the project fell apart a few months later for numerous logistical reasons. This beautiful cover will appear on Tracey Thorn’s new EP called “Night Time”, which drops digitally on October 31 via Ben Watt’s Strange Feeling Records. The release also features new remixes of “Swimming” from “Love And Its Opposite” by Visionquest and Charles Webster.

Preview the full release here.
