The XX 'XX'
Great album. This album was voted #2 in NME's Best albums of 2009 and you can see why. Another band that's difficult to categorize. Really cute and sad album. Lots of synths, quiet beats, sexy basslines, heartbreaking lyrics and dueling male/female vocals. There are elements of Portishead and Mazzy star in here..More subtle and polished than both of those bands, however..A bit shoegazey at times..Romantic vocals. This is a bad review..but that's cuz they have me stumped to come up with influences. Just buy the fuckin thing. You'll love it.
