The xx - ‘Basic Space’
‘XX’ is the debut from four teenagers based in South London citing influences as ranging from the Pixies and The Cure to Rihanna and Mariah Carey. Sounding like something you need to here? Right you are, sir.
The next single in line, see above, follows in the same vein of its predecessor ‘Crystalised’, sounding so much better than I ever imagined bridging the gap between indie pop and RnB would. The band are set to support Florence + The Machine across the UK following appearances at Reading and Leeds later this month. I’m thinking they might just steal the show at every single date, yno.
