The XX is an up and coming talented band from England. They've only produced one album "XX", and they are working on the second one, which is supposed to be released in 2012. I can't wait.

Very emo, pensively chewing on the sleeve of your hoody ;)
I like the sparseness of the song though and the use of the female/male vocal dichotomy. I liked it. It's charming.

This will sound shallow, but I liked The XX a lot more before I knew what their "image" was. I stumbled upon their album by accident back "before it was cool" and thought it was pretty good, especially "Crystalised." But when I looked up the video it was quite jarring. Somehow it diminished my enjoyment of the song. Silly but true.

I don't think it sounds shallow. A video is an art form that the artist presumably has a hand in guiding. If this is their visual representation of what their music means to them it ought to have an impact on you. Not shallow at all.
