[QUOTE]The xx are an English indie pop band, formed in London in 2008. The group released their debut album, xx in August 2009. The album ranked highly on many best of 2009 lists, placing number one on the list compiled by The Guardian and second for NME. In 2010, the band won the Mercury Music Prize for their debut album. Their second album, Coexist, is to be released on 11 September 2012. Their self-titled debut was released with the British independent record label Young Turks on 17 August 2009. Though the band had previously worked with producers including Diplo and Kwes, they produced xx themselves, while Jamie Smith and Rodaidh McDonald mixed it. The xx recorded their album in a small garage that was part of the XL Recordings studio, often at night, which contributed to the low, whispery nature of the album. The music of the album was used extensively on television and in media such as 24/7, Person of Interest, NBC's coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games; during the series Cold Case, Suits, Mercy, the Greek version of Next Top Model, "Bedlam", Hung, 90210, as well as being the feature song for the March 2010 E4 advert for 90210, Misfits, the Karl Lagerfeld Fall/Winter 2011 fashion show, Waterloo Road, and the film I Am Number Four.[/QUOTE]

The xx, imo, is really good. I don't know if there has been a thread already, since as you know, search is disabled for blues. Anyways, tell me, do you like The xx?
sooooooooooo indieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Yes.^
This is one of the indie bands I literally can't get into.
This is one of the few indie bands I'm into.
I agree 100% with Doozle.
The male vocalist looks rather weird. I think some XX songs are good, but a lot of them are just pretty boring. I loathe VHS.
Only good version.

That's a pretty good remix, but I still like the original better. Also, I think its kind of unique that they try to use only one word for the title of their songs. Both singles they released from [i]Coexist[/i] have single word names, so I think they will continue to do it which is pretty cool.
I've had their xx album for a while and I love it, I should really check out their other.

I like lengthy one word names like these:

Several of their song titles are more than one word.
Not a massive fan of The XX but Jamie's solo tunes are excellent.
