Comprising Jamie Smith, Baria Qureshi, Oliver Sim and Romy Madley Croft, The xx came to prominence with their gorgeous 'Crystallized' single from earlier in the year. The song was possibly the best dueling boy/girl vocal track since... 'Nothing Better' by The Postal Service? 'No Hope For Us' by Arab Strap? Not like we're keen on hyperbole or anything, but The Big Pink and Micachu and the Shapes have both taken the band on tour with them, so they clearly share our excitement over this lot. XL Recordings. 2009.... (more)(less)

"O meu achado de 2009, sem dúvida. Primeiro disco dos XX e já tá com essa bola toda. Disco foda. Cheio de texturas e nuaces que fazem do disco uma experiência musical. Por pouco não pega o primeiro lugar. Por bem pouco."
