The blogosphere is, and has been, raving about this quartet from London who this past fall dropped their debut album, xx. For some reason I’ve let the band pass me by for the past few months, but today I finally caved when I stumbled across them again, and I’m real glad we’ve finally been introduced. I don’t really know how to describe them… they’re definitely different, but at the same time very listenable; perfect to kick back to. Great multi-tasking music.
Check out the album’s intro which features a tenacious beat that Mike Posner just happened to jack for his intro to his latest mixtape. Below that, you’ll find a borderline candidate for the ‘Immediate Sleep Playlist’, “VCR”. You gotta be in the zone for this so don’t go into it lookin to rock out.
