The xx closed out their maiden SXSW voyage by performing in the final slot at the XL Recordings showcase at the Central Presbyterian Church. In the air hung an atmosphere of intimacy and reverence. The boisterous and booze-laden concert settings of the festival were left at the door and the band performed a well-sounding set–the acoustics and the bass were very intense, similar to the calculated concentration that Romy Madley and Oliver Sim exude. True to form, they kept it cool and barely hinted at smiling until leaving the stage.

Returning for their second SXSW tour-de-force, Bogota’s Bomba Estereo unleashed a frenzy at Levi’s Fader Fort yesterday evening. It still surprised me that Liliana Saumet never dreamed of becoming a musician and yet, here she is. Her hybrid singing and rapping style is more polished since last seeing her perform; however, her raw energy is formidable and contagious. Perhaps more surprising was drummer Kike Egurrola, who had his moment to shine and delivered unstoppable beat after beat. It must have been the setting which allowed everyone’s personality and skills to fully unfurl before the audience. Julian Salazar on the guitar tore it up and certainly the mastermind behind it all, Simon Mejia, was in fine form alternating between his bass, computer, and keys. Ultimately, all the touring the band has done to support 2009’s Blow Up has refined their dynamic …

In two words: mind-blowing. After a formidable performance from Eskmo, who also showed off his sick silver high-tops and fancy footwork, gaining an inch of space closer to the stage before FlyingLo’s set was akin to signing a death warrant. With an all-new visual presentation and the upcoming release of Cosmogramma, there were many things that could have left the salivating crowd disappointed. FlyingLo mentioned that he wasn’t sure how Austin was going to react to his tunes since they don’t easily fit the mold of what’s expected for SX performing artists. This was something far beyond normal; it was phenomenal. With his hands in the air like a conductor summoning the bleeps and blurps from his decks, FlyingLo exuded confidence—and absolute joy.

While the first single off of SIA’s newest release,We Are Born, hasn’t been released yet–it’s “Clap Your Hands” and slated for May 25th–SIA and her crew have streamed a sampler of the new songs. With some help from The Strokes’ Nick Valensi and Inara George from the bird and the bee, the album lands somewhere between dance-pop and those jaw-dropping ballads SIA delivers. Oh and a Madonna cover of “Oh Father.” She’ll be at Coachella next month. Stream and tracklisting after the jump.

Everyone needs to move on eventually, and in an interview with the BBC, James Murphy felt fairly certain that this third LCD album will be the final installment. Don’t despair, he’ll comeback with more candy for your ears.
Zane Lowe: Can we clear something up James, There’s been all this talk of late that this might be the last LCD Soundsystem album, what’s the story about this?
James Murphy: I think it is, and l I feel good about it and really positive about it, it’s not like a negative thing. I think that its nice to feel like it’s the last one and we’ll …
