sometimes i’m a bit hesitant to believe that a new young band has produced an amazing album. i’m not really sure why since it seems to be occurring frequently these days, especially where young british bands are concerned. in any case, the xx has certain done so with their debut record xx. the sexual tension between the voices of romy madley croft and oliver sim is exquisite. combined with their youthful restraint, i am hard pressed to find a dynamic to compare it to. it is a treat to me that this album gives us so much of the two of them singing together in unison. and the simple early cure inspired, sometimes referential, guitar and bass lines just feel like home to me.
rory phillips‘ excellent crystalised remix is currently available on vinyl.
