The xx's New 'Say Something Loving' Video is a Tribute to London Youth

The xx released today a retro new video for their song, "Say Something Loving," off the trio's third studio album, I See You. Directed by photographer and filmmaker Alasdair McLellan, the visual presents a lo-fi portrait of young love in London: there's depictions of queer couples in arcades, skateparks and parties, and a glimmering image of the sun setting behind the city's silhouetted skyline.

"We wanted to celebrate our home town and revisit some of the places that reminds us of our friendship when we were growing up," said the band of the video, a love letter to their hometown. "We're so happy to be back home and so excited to begin our Night + Day residency in Brixton this week."

Tomorrow the xx launch their Night + Day Festival in London, which will last over a week, before embarking on a tour across North America that will include stops headlining Lollapalooza and Coachella. Tickets for their upcoming shows are available here.
