-sisters Hannah and Colette Thurlow- have debuted a special cover
version of Seal and Adamski's Nineties classic, 'Killer'. Currently
main support to the XX on their European comeback tour, they just
premiered the surprise track online, with Colette commenting, "There's
a nostalgia to 'Killer' that each member of the band identifies with.
We grew up listening to Seal. 'Kiss from a Rose' and 'Crazy' are such
big songs. We thought it would be interesting to re-work a pop song and
put a 2:54 spin on it. The lyrics are really moving too; melancholic
and tough. To me it feels like a song about hope and solidarity."

have become one of 2012's most notable breakthrough bands, releasing
their debut on Fat Possum in late May album to fevered critical
acclaim, and touring the world with the likes of champions like Wild

headline run, and a hectic summer making their mark on all the best
festivals, they resumed their show-stopping trek with the XX before
releasing new single 'Sugar' at the end of the month. In October the
two bands join forces again for an amazing US adventure together, the

headline dates, including San Francisco, Toronto, New York and Brooklyn.
