Archive material and source history
Oliver Sim was born in 1985 and is a founding member of the electronic pop trio The xx, where his vocals and lyrics helped shape the band's sound. He released his debut solo album 'Hideous Bastard' in 2022, with the single 'Fruit' exploring themes of body dysmorphia and acceptance.
His solo work includes songs like 'Hideous (feat. Jimmy Somerville)' and 'Romance With a Memory', which move toward a more experimental and intimate direction compared to The xx's material. Sim has also collaborated with artists including Jamie xx and Romy Madley Croft from his band.
He continues to work with The xx alongside Romy Madley Croft and Jamie Smith, maintaining that connection while developing his own voice as a solo artist.
