The xx

I'm your AA, thinking The xx, a Londoner four-piece band that is selling out venues across the U.K. this summer. Their simple dramatic tunes demonstrate an overtly subtle sexuality that belies their youth...all the members are only 19! The lead singers, Romy and Oliver, have known each other since the tender age of 3, and have a natural vocal connection that is superbly demonstrated in the single "Crystalised" off of their self-titled debut album that comes out October 20 here in the States via Young Turks Records (also the home of great artists such as Wavves and Jack Penate). For all the non-record store goers out there, it is thankfully already available online as of August 17.

If you lie awake by yourself at night looking at the Stars (check out Set Yourself on Fire and see the influence) humming 80's dream pop, The xx is for you...
