X Ambassadors - Half-Life (Live Performance) | Vevo

X Ambassadors - Half-Life (Live Performance) It’s hard to get memories of your early days out of your system. Sam and Casey Harris grew up in Ithaca, an upstate New York spot that simultaneously feels like city and country, and is sometimes just as bleak as it is beautiful. The brothers, who along with Adam Levin comprise the current edition of X Ambassadors, look back at their warts-and-all youth on the band’s latest album, ’Townie.’ There’s a lot of decisions to be made in your late teens; perhaps more if you’re situated in a relatively remote area. So it’s only proper that ’Townie’ kicks off with tales of buying 40s with a fake ID and doing donuts in the parking lot while squinting in the glare of a Sunoco station’s lights. The album’s song titles enhance the vibe: “I’m Not Really Here,“ “Start A Band,“ and “Half-Life“ all speak to the energy it takes to battle bouts of ennui. XA, who brought us powerhouse tunes like “Renegades“ and “Unsteady“ and “BOOM,“ are meticulous craftsmen of pop-rock, and their skills are in full view on ’Townie.’ The Harrises have been in our studio previously, but they swung by with a string quartet to share a take of “Half-Life“ that’s quite memorable. Let ’em tug on your sleeve for a sec.
