New The xx MP3 - Crystalised

Introducing the latest band toted as the “next big things”. The xx.
Four 19 year olds from London producing music with the kind of brooding minimalism you’d expect from someone a lot more advanced in age.

Earlier this year, they put everyone in a flurry with their cover of the Womack and Womack track Teardrops. It seems the more we here from these guys, the more we hear that they are most certainly the ones to watch in 09’.

Their knack for tense, slow burning no-wave pop is obvious on their latest track Crystallised, taken from their debut album due out sooner hopefully than later this year.

The xx's first 7" will be out soon through Young Turks/ XL, with a debut full-length to follow in September.
