The xx

The xx is a young London group consisting of Romy and Oliver, the two lead vocalists. Just heard them for the first time this morning and I’m really digging them, especially the Them Jeans edit of “Shelter” which gives the restrained and delicate original a pumping back beat. This band shows a tremendous amount of promise, especially considering they’re all only 19.  Their eponymous debut album is out now.
