Gorillaz cover The xx's "Crystalised"

by Ciaran Thompson

Damon Albarn and some of his Gorillaz crew recently stopped by BBC Radio 1 studios to record a couple acoustic tracks with one of them being a cover of The xx’s “Crystalised” from their Mercury Prize-winning self-titled debut album. Using acoustic guitar, piano, and xylophone, the band take the already stripped down song a little bit further with Albarn’s vocals putting a different spin on one of the best tracks of 2009. Watch the band recording it below.
