the XX .

let's talk about it.

while reading new york magazine this morning over a cup of starbucks and a free pastry (score!) i came across an article about the XX.

their from wandsworth, southwest of london, and wear all black (shocking) and barely move while on stage, i guess to really emphasize their hipster swag (even more shocking).

the band members all met at the Elliot School which has impressive alumni such as Hot Chip.

the band was originally four members but keyboardist, Baria Qureshi left the band due to exhaustion. so now all we have left is Jamie Smith who produces the tracks while Oliver Sim and Romy Madley Croft lay down the vocals.

they released their debut album, xx, with Young Turks Records in August 2009. after their songs were used in many tv shows the band is finally getting the attention they deserve.

the soft instruments plus their sensual voices and sexual lyrics makes me ooze. i'm in love.

i included some videos for you guys to judge for yourselves.

enjoy.





fyi-their on tour as we speak so try to catch them in your town. below is the link to their website.

afyi- i think Oliver Sim is my new obsession.
