I downloaded this last month and meant to post about it… The XX is a band from south west London, England, formed in 2005. I think ContactMusic describes them best:

The XX strip all that is sunshine and lightness out of pop and tarmac over it with a melancholic sheen, making for a sound that is supremely beguiling, haunting and infectious.

Favorite songs from the album XX at the time this was written:

Basic Space

Crystalised
