Recorded in Los Angeles between August 2020 and February 2022 and mastered at \u003cstrong\u003eSterling Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is the most emotionally direct and focused record of the band's career to date. Where previous albums drew from a broad range of relationships and experiences, \u003cem\u003eX's\u003c\/em\u003e centres almost entirely on a single four-year relationship — its beginning, its arc, and its end — with songwriter \u003cstrong\u003eGreg Gonzalez\u003c\/strong\u003e inhabiting every stage of it with the unhurried, cinematic intimacy that has become his signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album marks a subtle but perceptible sonic evolution: while Gonzalez's whispered vocals and shimmering reverb-drenched guitar remain the constant, the production draws away from the '50s and '60s touchstones of earlier records towards a warmer, slower '70s and '80s palette — a late-night slow-dance quality that suits the subject matter perfectly. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Tejano Blue\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e\"Silver Sable\"\u003c\/strong\u003e and the gorgeous \u003cstrong\u003e\"Hideaway\"\u003c\/strong\u003e stand among the finest songs of their catalogue, while \u003cstrong\u003e\"Ambien Slide\"\u003c\/strong\u003e closes the album in a haze of resigned tenderness.
