May 25, 2012 - I think it is more about being trapped in a relationship that at first seems perfect. But suddenly starts deteriorating.

May 25, 2012 - I have been listening to this for two years. Fuck.

May 25, 2012 - The most unrealistic part of this band is how realistic their music sounds. Their voices naturally combine into something beautiful, something that doesn't sound fabricated. This band definitely deserves the publicity, and I'm really proud of how far they've come. I hope to see them create more albums very soon.

May 24, 2012 - My friends and I recently recorded a song called "Nylon Whale" and we would really love if you took the time to check it out! We don't sound much like The xx, but you may dig our style! Thanks so much!

May 24, 2012 - Let me tell you all a story. Well, there I was, smoking weed for the first time. The world was beautiful. I was alive. Alive here, on the side of the earth. Anyway I managed to make the pilgrimage from the garage to the house and turn on the television. Music channel. And this song begins. Never heard it before, never seen this before. I couldn't quite believe it. I still don't.

May 21, 2012 - so.. it's a song about sexual deviance and multiple partners throughout what seems like.. time never stepping forward?
nbmatt Says:
May 20, 2012 - Oh, nice! I'd love to see them live D:
miekelouiseg Says:
May 20, 2012 - I went to their intimate gig on friday and he actually played some live drums :)

May 19, 2012 - I know, haha, that's why I said basically the same thing. There is skill behind using a drum machine just as there is skill behind actual drumming. It may not require as much physical effort but it requires an understanding of rhythm and creativity. Really, though, I'm not saying live drumming wouldn't be fantastic for these guys, it's just that I don't find it completely necessary in this case. Who knows, maybe he'll start playing em live some day!

May 19, 2012 - trololololol
musicfreak758 Says:
May 19, 2012 - well thats a skill in a different field
nbmatt Says:
May 19, 2012 - I somewhat agree with that but in reality they require two different types of skill. The guy using the drum machine (Jaime xx) is a fairly well-known up and coming producer.
musicfreak758 Says:
May 18, 2012 - well would mean there would be more skill involved instead of just pressing bottons on a machine. still good song and band though
nbmatt Says:
May 18, 2012 - Well I guess we're all lucky no one put you in charge.
musicfreak758 Says:
May 18, 2012 - id have more respect for them if they used actuale drums, instead of a beat maker..

May 17, 2012 - AMAZING!!!

May 17, 2012 - my AP english teacher showed us this video. I was so happy he did. <3

May 15, 2012 - This is definitely my favorite song by The xx, and the video is so cool.
