The xx might be one of the most remixed bands in history. At least the most with only one album under their belt. But what an album. it has soundtracked everything: the British general election, the World Cup, festival coverage, and so much more. And here we have a remix [Read more]

Romy Madley Croft of The XX Talks Ring Pulls, Courtney Love And Dealing With The Hype

Nov 5, 2009, 8:12pm Pedestrian Blog

Combine four 20 year olds from South West London, some sublime tunes, moody guitars, an ethereal vocal duet and a kid's Casio keyboard and you've got hotter than Hades British quartet, The XX. Pedestrian caught up with lead singer Romy Madley Croft and found out about their hectic touring schedule, befriending Florence and the Machine, singing covers and becoming unexpected fashion symbols. It's a damn long way from the days of jamming together in their school music rooms and not at all bad for four kids still living at home with their parents. Thankfully those lucky few heading to Laneway [...]

The XX interview

Oct 13, 2009, 7:30am State Magazine

To be honest, State had been expecting the worst. Stood motionless on stage, dressed head-to-toe in black, and with a dour expression etched across his face to match his appearance, The XX 's Ollie Sim doesn't exactly come across as a bundle of fun. Despite cramming a good deal of Stradbally's temporary populous into the Electric Arena tent last month's Electric Picnic, Sim and his cohorts look almost embarrassed by the attention being given to them and their deceptively simple, sparse and lonesome bunch of songs. Throughout, you couldn't describe them as anything but glum. Despite this lack of [...]

The xx - "Island" (Live on Jools Holland) (video) (Mixed Media)

Oct 5, 2009, 10:13am PopMatters

London's the xx played Jools Holland's show last week in advance of their US release of xx. The buzz is building on this young group of 20-year-olds who traffic in a minimal form of pop that's unusually mature for their tender age. Look for a PopMatters review later this week.

The XX - Islands (Live in Jools Holland)

Oct 4, 2009, 6:00pm Playground

Los de negro aparecieron en el show de Jools Holland y hechizaron al personal. Fríos, distantes, divinamente autísticos, The XX demostraron en directo porque son el grupo revelación de la temporada. Tan solo hizo falta una guitarra minimalista, un bajo omnipresente, un órgano y la percusión...

The xx Bring Jools Holland Their "Islands"

Sep 30, 2009, 5:52pm Stereogum

Fresh off of a tour with Florence & The Machine, and a tour-memorializing remix of one of her Lungs cuts , the xx stopped in to Jools Holland's BBC2 studio to perform the subdued and lockstep cool of "Islands," one of many standouts from their debut-album-of-the-year contender xx . If they look baby-faced it's because they actually are babies (the quartet are all 20), babies that preternaturally distilled a sultry, drum-machined minimalistic pop blend bands twice their age can't approach.

The xx:

Sep 30, 2009, 8:31am Prefixmag.com

Londoners The xx have enjoyed a whirlwind year. Their debut album has been met by near-blanket praise, and they've been shunted back and forth across the Atlantic a few times already. The band will play numerous shows at the CMJ Festival in New York in October, and is set to be one of the big highlights of the event. They appeared on Jools Holland's show last night (Sept. 29) to perform one of the standout tracks from the album, the tranquil "Islands." Flanked by two large "X" signs, the band assimilated a [...]
