JAMIE XX

March 1, 2024

The CREEM Archive presents the magazine as originally created. Digital text has been scanned from its original print format and may contain formatting quirks and inconsistencies.

From the opening notes of Jamie xx’s modernday classic “I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times),” you can almost see the rain clouds parting, the sun shining through, and a thousand beers cracking open in triumphant unison. It’s maybe the most true-to-life example of a song matching its theme in recent memory. Let’s add to that the sight of Jamie hanging out alongside his sweet ride in a sunny driveway. Then all that’s left is a short drive to a secluded beach, crystal-blue waters refracting the sunlight, and the creak of low-rider air shocks bouncing along to the song.

When we reached out to Jamie for the year, make, and model of his car, he replied, “I dunno.” Rock stars—they’re nothing like us.
