The XX is a four piece set out of London and have been on our radar over the past few months. I find it difficult to describe there sound because it can be analyzed in so many different ways. What I can say is that there self titled debut album “XX” will definitely be on a few top album of the year lists as ’09 closes. Pitchfork already praised there mature sound (being that all members are under 21) and an array of other websites have hailed them as the “next big thing that might actually be the next big thing.” Expect this quartet to be one of the most talked about new bands in the coming months. Check out there single for “Crystallized” which reminds me of early Cure days, looks like Gothic Rock just became modernized.
