I absolutely love them... I stumbled upon this performance of "Basic Space" on youtube the other day and I think it may be my favorite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ-ToBh4jaw
best breakout band of 2009! absolutely love this group.
their sound is so unique, dreamy and jazzy and calming,
with that weird eerie quality to it. i read in an interview
that they recorded the tracks in the middle of the night.
(which is i guess partly why most of the songs have
that somnambulistic touch)
i've been saying to friends for a while, if you ever find me on the edge, at the top of a tall building about to jump, play me songs by the xx and you'll save my life
Me too! And Stars is also a favourite of mine. I love the xx; I heard about them in Dazed and Confused and instantly fell in love with their music on first listen. I find it slightly annoying- as one always does- when they started becoming mainstream but, oh well, I suppose they deserve the popularity that they're now getting.
