The young beatmakers embark on an ambitious European tour.

Giraffage is 21 years old and crafts wavy dream pop; XXYYXX is 16 years old and re-flexes R&B tracks. When the two collaborate, like on ‘Even Though,’ it is somewhere in between, like a blissed-out take on early James Blake. Wearing their influences on their sleeves at this early juncture can be forgiven, because both are prolific and promising. From September to October, the two will visit Madrid, Moscow, and all points in between (XXYYXX will also knock off a few festival dates in late August).
