Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The traveling carnival known as Re:SET is so set on putting a brand new spin on the festival experience that it’s not even using that particular F-word in its name or advertising. Setting down at Brookside at the Rose Bowl over the weekend, it was a rose by any other name, but the concept is just novel enough (and just hard enough to explain in a user-friendly nutshell) that it counts as a semi-reinvention, and a welcome one: the festival as an a la carte buffet. LCD Soundsystem, Boygenius and Steve Lacy are the headliners for a three-day outing hitting different regions across the U.S., where local fans need not attend all three days (and in most cases, probably won’t), but get quite a smorgasbord if they do.

LCD Soundsystem tickets. And before you ask, yes, they’re planning on dncing themselves clean in the GA pit.You read that right.

Oliver Sim has promised there will be “more music from The xx” in the future.In a new interview with Consequence, Sim who released his own debut solo record ‘Hideous Bastard’ last month, spoke about where the band go from here.When asked about The xx’s future plans, he said: “The xx will always be my home and will always be my priority. And normally I wouldn’t speak for Romy [Madley Croft] and Jamie [xx], but I know they feel the same.

DEALSCamila Cabello has left Sony Music’s Epic label for a new deal with Universal Music’s Interscope, according to Variety.Emiliana Torrini & The Colorist Orchestra have signed to Bella Union to release their new album ‘Racing The Storm’ next year. From that very album, right here is new single ‘Right Here’.————————————————–APPOINTMENTSUniversal Music owned distributor Ingrooves has promoted Cris Garcia Falcão to Managing Director LATAM and Nina Rabe-Cairns to Managing Director APAC.

 Hideous Bastard (★★★☆☆) features the letters of the album title sticking out of Sim’s grinning face.A devout horror fan who also collaborated on a three-part horror short, Sim leans into his preoccupation with ugliness and monstrosity, and the gruesome image neatly echoes Hideous Bastard‘s deliberate, artful lack of subtlety.From its opening lines, it’s clear Hideous Bastard is a deeply personal work for Sim, which may go some way towards explaining why his foray into solo work has come so long after his xx bandmates Romy Mady Croft and Jamie xx began pursuing their own projects.“Been living with HIV since 17,” he bluntly intones at the end of his album opener and lead single “Hideous,” immediately following the revelation by asking “Am I hideous?” Disclosing his HIV status while also openly reckoning with the attendant shame that has accompanied it throughout his adult life is a devastating one-two punch.While Sim never quite manages to recapture the brilliance and emotional heft of his opener, he remains focused on the intertwined feelings of fear and shame, and the way they weave themselves into our relationships and affect our expectations of the world and ourselves.He comes close to matching the stark, introspective honesty of the title track in his musings on the relationship between shame and queer love on “Fruit,” and in his admission in “Sensitive Child” of the fragility that holds him back from relationships.

Oliver Sim has shared a new single called ‘Run The Credits’ – you can listen to it below.The song is the final preview of The xx singer/bassist’s debut solo record ‘Hideous Bastard’, which is due for release tomorrow (Friday, September 9) via Young and can be pre-ordered here.“I very much see this album as a queer horror film, and I wrote ‘Run The Credits’ as the closing scenes of the film,” explained Sim in a statement.“Sonically, I think it’s quite a joyous and celebratory song, but lyrically it’s quite open ended and has a lot of anger. It was also an opportunity to pay homage to some of the characters I love the most in cinema like Patrick Bateman and Buffalo Bill.”He continued: “I’ve loved those characters since I was a little boy.

Oliver Sim has announced the cancellation of his forthcoming ‘Hideous’ tour, which was scheduled to run over 17 dates across North America, Europe and the UK.In a statement shared on his Instagram account, the artist (who also performs in The xx) cited complications with timing for his decision.
