The xx constantly credited with lower case 'xx' are an English indie pop band from Wandsworth, London, formed in It is hardly likely that we will get an answer in a clear form for the majority of musicians prefer to keep communication with the audience through their music and lyrics.
Well, it took us four years to wait till The XX released their debut long player after their assembled, which finally made us able to see what the band is like and what the members want to give us.
The group followed the old and good tradition and give the album its own name, yet, for the sake of originality, dropped The. Should the young performer stumble while making the first step, his or her further career may fall under a big question. Seems like the members of The XX took this aspect into consideration and thus delivered an awesome album showing their best side.
Words are weak to explain this because an atmosphere like that is not what you expect from an indie-rock piece, yet this one is produced so that the sensation of solitude and isolation is about to stay with you during all the fifty minutes that the album lasts. Since we touched upon the production, it is essential to say that these functions were taken up by the musicians themselves, which would give them credits as the work is done perfectly. You might take for example the guitar arrangements having echo-like effect, which strengthens your feeling of standing right under the dome of the temple.
Praise should be given to the vocalists, Oliver Sim and Romy Croft, whose vocal parts substitute each other in such a manner that we become unwillingly yet to our gladness witnesses of a tell-tale conversation between two dramatic personages.
The classic instrumental Intro is followed by the first vocal track VCR shaping up the mood of the rest of the record. Among the other compositions, you are likely to notice the single Crystallized drowning you into the chill of the England morning. The guitars in Infinite stubbornly remind you but not copy! Musically simple Basic Space built upon the electronic beats crashes into your memory thank to the singing of both vocalists.
Finally, you will like Shelter with its trip-hop rhythmic structure perfectly matching the singing of Romy who demonstrates all her talent here. Its makers, The XX, seem real masters of atmosphere. If you entrust them with your mood, it would take them less than an hour to bring you to a different amazing world. It is hardly seen in the flux of people, information and thoughts with everything subtle, gentle and untraceable unnoticeable.
