Those of you that know me personally, have more than likely already gotten an earful about The xx. Those of you that don’t, are about to. I have to admit that I’ve have been completely infatuated with every aspect of this band since I caught wind of them a few months back, and this post, is long overdue. From their bass heavy riffs, to the seemingly effortless vocals, everything about this band works. I think I’ve told a few people that I thought they were the future of music, and now that I reflect back on that, I realize I don’t know what the hell I meant. What I do know, is that I haven’t heard anything like this…ever…and that’s saying something. I spend probably between 20-30 hours a week researching music, and I’ve been bored out of my mind. Either it’s too much or too little, raw or over cooked, but XX (debut album by The xx) hits the nail right on the head. Now I could go into some deep analyzation of each song, and say some crap about minimalism, but I’ll spare you. They’re good. That’s all you need to know. If you disagree, to be honest I don’t care, BUT if you haven’t heard of them or any of their material, give them a listen. Check out the video for a taste.
