The xx's Oliver Sim unveils debut solo single 'Romance With A Memory'

While his bandmate Romy Madley Croft has been busy on the solo circuit recently, The xx's Oliver Sim has now joined the fold with his debut solo effort.

The new single 'Romance With A Memory' was produced by Jamie xx, and comes accompanied with a brilliant new video, starring Charity Kase, HoSo Terra Toma and Gena Marvin.

Speaking about the new offering, he said, "I’m thrilled, excited, ecstatic, overcaffeinated and overjoyed to be sharing "Romance with a Memory" with you all. Terrifyingly, this is the first song I’ve ever released under my own name, I really hope you all enjoy it. Produced by my dear older brother Jamie xx. I’ve also made a compilation of some of my favourite monsters, killers and queers getting down. I hope both the music and monsters make you feel as happy as they make me—I cannot tell you how much joy it brings me to watch a ghoul having a good time. P.S. still very much in a loving and happy relationship/band with Romy and Jamie."
