Islands by The xx

Its official. I am joining the xx bandwagon. These talented young folk from London are ‘so hot right now’ in the blogosphere. Its breathless, stripped-down indie pop that begs to be listened to over…and over again. This is a great example of a new band that deserves the hype that they are receiving for they play a brand of music that isn’t just another carbon copy of ‘everything-we’ve-already-heard-that-has-proved-to-sell-records-to-cashed-up-indie-kids’. The xx’s debut, xx is out now. Enjoy a nice change.
