The xx

Their new album seems near, but even though i really enjoyed the first two records, i’m not really hyped about this at all.

yeah, it’s not 2009 anymore sadly

Just listen to Colossal Youth instead.

hard to imagine a more boring band though, isn’t it?

Could be alright, probably won’t be the most interesting thing out there

Would have to do something drastically different to make this worthwhile.

I really like that Jamie xx calls himself that though. It’s like something from Smash Hits.

Hope the rumours are true and they’ve gone in an electro/dance direction.

I heard it’s going to be more:

Hooray, more background music for BBC shows.

Liked both but it’s a case of diminishing returns. They will need to do a sharp u turn. Would be happy if they just did a straight pop record this time.

I don’t mind their debut. I mean, it’s nothing groundbreaking but she’s got a nice voice and it sits well in the background on a train journey. Like a modern version of Everything But The Girl.

Can’t say I’ll be rushing out for album #3

I knew there would be an XX backlash at some point.

Me : can’t wait.

I put their debut on the other day and it’s still a great record. The ubiquity of that sound isn’t their fault, and they execute it better than almost all peers.

Looking forward to this; whether it’s a departure from or continuation of their sound.
