Just in time for Valentine's Day, The xx this week covered Beyoncé's "I Miss You." The performance, seen below, took place in none other than Bey's home state of Texas at Austin's Moody Theater. "She is one of our favourite artists of all time," The xx said of Mrs. Carter, also noting their admiration for Frank Ocean, one of the co-writers of the track, which appears on Bey's 2011 album 4.
Watch the stripped-down version of "I Miss You" via Pitchfork below, followed by the band's tour dates—some new ones with Grizzly Bear included.
