I’ve made an album! It’s called Hideous Bastard and it’s out on the 9th of September.⁠ ⁠ This is my first solo album and whilst it’s been made away from @thexx it’s been produced entirely by my brother @jamie___xx and my sister @romyromyromy has been by my side right the way through.⁠ ⁠ I struggle writing these things out of fear of sounding too self important or serious. A lot of this record is serious on paper, I’ve written a lot about fear, shame and masculinity, but I made these songs as a way of freeing myself. So I see Hideous Bastard as not only self deprecating but also having a lot of joy & humour. ⁠ ⁠ The album has been brought to life as a queer horror film, “HIDEOUS”, by my friend and director @yann__gonzalez. I had the pleasure of seeing it premiere at Cannes Film Festival last night and you’ll be able to watch it in all its gruesome and camp glory soon.⁠ ⁠ Lots of love, Oliver x
