Their debut LP, Melts Into Love, was released in 2019 via Subtext, »a deliriously psychedelic record [that] slithers in and out of the brain with the visceral body horror of a David Cronenberg movie.« (Fact). The album imagines new affinities, anxieties, and ecstasies in an age of noise, spectacle, and inundation. Released “biodigitally”—meaning all proceeds go to a reforestation project— and solely via independent platforms, the album evidences »[d]egraded dance & rave for our contemporary society of spectacle & excess.« (AQNB). xin worked with Manchester’s AYA (fka LOFT) on single »Spent, Wasted and Saved;« and with machine-learning engineers Ash D’Cruz and Chris Tegho, as well as painter Gabrielle Bejani, to collaboratively develop the fiendish album art.

xin has performed live at Berlin’s Volksbühne in support of Holly Herndon and at Kraftwerk for MaerzMusik’s The Long Now, among others. They soundtracked Zach Blas’ installation »The Doors« and were a summer 2019 research resident at Trust, Berlin’s space for utopian conspiracy and the (re)design of infrastructure.
