In Colour grew on me in a big way towards the end of 2015. When it was released, I was indifferent (slightly leaning towards favorable). It only really clicked when I was driving one night and decided to throw it on. There's something about "Gosh" while driving alone on a dark rural highway while it's snowing. You feel small yet significant, like you're part of this big and weird world, and while you know you can never experience all of it, you can appreciate that everything is right there.

Also, the girl who I was dating at the time (open relationship, so it was on the way out) really hated this album, while the girl who I was seeing loved it. We bonded over the record, and I decided to date her instead.

>dude hardcore lmao
>dude garage lmao

Jamie xx practises safe raving with his debut solo album proper, following a 2011 collaboration with Gil Scott-Heron and production as part of The xx. 'In Colour' posits Jamie as the pre-eminent posh soul boy, lifting and massaging inspiration from the rich heritage of late '80s + early '90s London dance culture and channelling it into a pop-ready format palatable to Radio 1 daytime tastes and festival soundtracks. The putative "soul" of rare groove, boogie, hardcore and early jungle is sucked out and spliced with vocals in feathered arrangements ripened up for students and yummy mummys alike - all under one roof. From the deflated hardcore of 'Gosh' to the trudging 'Girl', it's as seductive as a Waitrose fridge on a warm day, infused with exotic tropical reference points in the steel drums of 'Obvs', mixing the suburban Breaks of latter-day Chicane and Marine Parade with woolly chords right out of a Lamb classic in 'Hold Tight', or nodding to seminal Joss Stone in 'Loud Places'. Oh, it's going to be a great summer, we can just feel it.
