May 2020

Also known as @xcrswx, the duo share their first two releases in full

London based musicians Crystabel Riley and Seymour Wright present their new collaborative project @xcrswx. Today, the duo release Lookbook – a 30 minute recording available to download via Cafe Oto's new label Takuroku. Alto saxophonist Wright and drummer Riley refer to Lookbook as “night music”, adding that the recording takes in the “creaking cork and concrete” of their flat during the London coronavirus lockdown.

They’ll follow it with the 7" single Call Time/Hard Out, released on 15 June via Feedback Moves. “Call Time” is a multilayered collage of various phone recordings, while “Hard Out” is a an edited in-house live set from Cafe Oto.
