The XX are a 3 piece band from South West London, originally 4 piece as you can hear from the album, either way 3 or 4 members.... what a great great album!!!
Self titled debut album from the XX arrives with us with a massive impact upon the indie scene. Where to begin?.... from start to finish this album grabs hold and keeps you close for the duration. When reviewing albums we look for faults or something that could be better, but with this piece of work it is very difficult to find fault so we won’t dwell upon this. The positives from this album, the mood and subtleness of this album is just perfect with a dreamy euphoric ore, tracks like ‘heart skipped a beat’ & ‘shelter’ are on a different level to any other new band of 2009 and 2010 so far. The melodies of vocalists Romy and Oliver are just mouth watering, back and forth throughout, a duo made in heaven. This lot are going to be around for some time we think, but let’s not forget also..... This album is a debut release. Let’s hope the XX have the stamina to pull together to make a great second album.
Overall The XX are a fantastic band oozing with talent with a beautiful unique sound.
