Alguma idéia de como seria o new wave nos dias de hoje? Com pinceladas de soul e pop, essa banda do Reino Unido consegue fazer e muito bem, um new wave muito atual.
As canções apresentam atmosferas vezes calmas e pacíficas, vezes obscuras e misteriosas...
Influenciados por The Kills, Cocorosie, Jesus and Mary Chain e Mariah Carrey(lol); essa banda me faz lembrar um pouco Sonic Youth tambem. Esses vocais tímidos vão te conquistar!
Vale a pena conhecer!

Pitchfork: 8.7
"The record is not a complete break with recent sounds: tune in during certain moments of "Crystalised", and you'll hear the flecked, staccato guitars of Interpol. "Infinity"'s slow-strummed electric chords feel like late-period Radiohead. But xx is nervy and self-contained, the product of a new band thinking a lot harder about topics-- sex, composition, volume-- than we are accustomed to new bands thinking. It is so fully formed and thoughtful that it feels like three or four lesser, noisier records should have preceded it. The xx didn't need a gestation period, though xx is nuanced, quiet, and surprising enough that you might."
Drowned in Sound: 9
" The XX know when to tense, when to relax. It’s instinctive. It could be because they’ve known each other for years, it could be luck that this combination of four people is somehow tuned to one another and can create something so clear, so fluent. It’s pointless speculating about it. It’s here and it’s almost perfect."
