Description
The XX's Mercury-winning debut album 'XX' reveals them as a band who understand what Debussy meant about music being the space between the notes. Eschewing big name producers and studios, the album sees Jamie continuing in the producer role he’s asserted since The XX’s conception, tweaking and refining the band’s beautifully crafted songs into a debut record that’s utterly contemporary and undeniably timeless.
The enveloping, vocal partnership of best friends and songwriters Romy and Oliver is one that would've dropped-jaws in any decade, and set amidst a shivering soundscape of beats and plucks, their bedroom-reared concrete-soul is being justly heralded as the UK's most original and treasured alt-pop artifact of late.
