SOOOO GOOD TO SEE FACES TO THE VOICES AND SOUNDS of this amazing trio?

[ChargerDaytona3589]

I listened to this band for the first after buying Lykke Li on iTunes four days ago; Within five seconds I was hooked on their sound, now I can not get enough of them! They are grand!

[ChildrenOfInfidelity]

@360lolz That is a quite beautiful woman.

[wwefanfromaustria]

[sausykiller]

i love how a super introverted band like the xx have there music thrown into mainstream media and comercials like they have been



[Thoperware]

Eargasmic.

[lotuskiddo]

the musical evolution of eminem is amazing.

[iloveowls517]

their voices sound so good together. this is such a beautiful song.

[RobertoStonedwhite]

Dang, Conors voice changed.

jk hahaha Great Band, Great Song.

[holden29gh]

when are they coming to AUSTRALIA???? loved these guys in "lip service" never knew they existed until then!

[SweetStuffG]

@holden29gh They performed at Laneway in 2010. I have no idea when they are coming back. I think they may stop touring soon, if they haven't stopped already. Don't fret their album did well in Australia, I'm sure they will be back. Check their site for any updates till then.

[onforjack]

Oliver's pants. Why.

[AxWitness23x]

@onforjack Haha I was thinking the same way! They are hilarious looking! XD

[EmilyKane78]

so beautiful. and what a great quality!!

[Mduddle]

I find it pretty funny how he forgot her name, how unprofessional.

[AxWitness23x]

@Mduddle He probably got demoted at the end of the day!

[limestonemiler]

better than the album.

[Pandaspissed]

i f-ing love u guys

[iamasloth]

how does this not have more views???

[flangefighter]

such a tune, total bliss!

[OskIsNotAsian]

a bit dikeish?

[snoringdeer]

I love it

[deadlast79]

They don't sound in tune. . .not their best

[helenadigiorgi]

Me gusta ... Buena .. Buena!!!!!!!!!!!

[luciferdy9]

3:16 I love Romy's reaction xD

[uhinmywhitetee]

i fucking love this!!!!

[MsMysticprincess]

i love this :-)

[RasLutAnna]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Torhouston]

Great version, very chill!

[sarah7777771]

simply... love it x

[goozy101]

Such a chill version, love it

[funkadelik69]

They sound really amazing live! I do wish they would use real drums instead of a drum machine though.

[alexstrote]

@funkadelik69 yo hes a madman on that MPC still, gotta give respect for that.

[TheTimbalanders]

@funkadelik69 its works better that way because they use lots of samples as well. You can see Jamie playing the four distorted bass notes at 1.24. If he played actual drums then he wouldn't be able to play all the samples and synth sounds that they use

[pedrocabralcorreia]

best performance I've seen of Islands - touches deep ones soul

Brilliant album, brilliant Band, can't wait for the new album

[sarahcharlotte12]

Ik vind dit leuk

[B00mCrashBANG]

I think I've fallen in love with this band.

[markmadle]

all that gliters (even mercury) doesnt have to be gold. Take Dionne Warwick for instance....

[markmadle]

the drums have no flow. The singing sounds like a prepubesent "essex Idol" Come bac when ur grown up lads.....

[FrenchMess]

@markmadle I don't know the band really well but I've gotta say something for them.

I don't know who you are musically speaking but if they won the Mercury Prize it sure means something to music industries.

And if they have the possibility to record an album well they're not as bad as you judge them to be.

Cheers then :)

[markmadle]

@FrenchMess I do have Jamie's (from xx) cd with Gill Scott Heron. Jamie does an AWESOME job of this!!! His production is Brilliant.

[shaGteM]

@markmadle it's a drum machine faggot

[markmadle]

@shaGteM He's playing it live dude. And since when was being gay a put down. If I was gay Id be proud. Surely being a homophode would be a bigger put down. Call me that........

[SuperBrandi78]

I just love this track

[chel4437]

his voice, it just makes me hott lol

[CheatersAdvocacy]

Get busy and don't get caught!!! See my channel.

[rtljmc]

emos making good music? now i have seen it all. i can die happy.

[cjdawdj]

@rtljmc you're an idiot, so you're basing someone's musical ability on the way the look. the xx is dope.

[rtljmc]

@cjdawdj thats what i said. emos making good music was not a dis to these people. in fact there song intro is my favourite song.

[trufaithmax]

bah....

[TheCintia28]

her voice is amazing..." I´m yours now, so now I don´t ever have to leave".....love this song.

[tr4dentjgxxx]

Precisional , heart wrenching , and Incredibly unique. We need more originality in the current shitty music industry. This is music to be shared. To be FELT.

[johntall124]

@ 1:16 doesnt he look like Eminem? lol

[coza94]

she looks like a boy

[BrandonsVictim]

@coza94 so does your ma

[rockst4rFTW]

@BrandonsVictim i knew ye wer irish from the way ya wrote that haha :)

[Arbo3000]

nice gig. what drumcomputer is that(2:39)? think its an akai. but which one?

[froglogdogtog]

get a drummer

[octopuii]

tad too much delay on that guitar in the beginning.

[DrEthre]

@octopuii It's called impro >_>

[octopuii]

@DrEthre no clue what that is

[photogirl311]

I just love how Oliver's lips touch the microphone... so incredibly sexy!

[tokiowunder]

@photogirl311 i wish the mic were my lips =P

[photogirl311]

@tokiowunder Ditto!

[ana313ify]

The xx son increibles :D

[martissr1234]

I love the smooth way how romy starts to play her guitar .... the best live version of islands :)

[Ringus2]

quieren hacerse publicidad con Shakira???

[davoct]

@Ringus2 .....shakira quiere hacerse publicidad con la canción de THE XX.....jejejejeje....

[SusanaC18]

aw, how i love oliver <3

[spidernam]

lovin the flood pants @ 2:20

[bodysnatchers25]

lol

the first seconds of the video with the big reverb and Jiam in the "Q", seems like the intro of a post-death memorial video lol

...We'll miss you Jiam...

[5sagen5]

@bodysnatchers25 whos jiam

[5sagen5]

@bodysnatchers25 OHHH! you mean Jian lol u just didnt spell it right haha sorry

[daniusedsolares]

yes agreed.. oliver kinda looks like eminem

[5sagen5]

@absalon41 REALLY? i like this live version better .......

[wBAJKOnur]

@absalon41 well, they're actually talking about it in the interview in Qtv. check it out. i agree with you partially, loving the record, but still i think they're doing live better than my true "record-live dissapointment", which is called: wild beasts;)

[georgiamayjay]

I have been listening to this band for a year and a half now, and i just realized what they look like... lol its kind of weird. but now i love them even more ^.^ and her sexy voice

[mackomacko]

romy is beautiful. im addicted

[YazitaShaki]

OMG i loved this version :) their voice sounds amazing

[paramanic08]

haha. " fingers of gold". Jamie is King Midas now.

[nickfromdtown1992]

i love the xx for some reason. im not normally into this kind of stuff but this is sick

[5sagen5]

the drum thing that Jamie is on looks like SO MUCH FUN I love this song soooo much!

[imalake]

Esto no se puede creer jaaja es tan tan hermoso 

[Desdamona2]

she sounds kind of like florence and the machine. they're good though

[kontrasttest]

yeah nice sound 

[moiafro]

Love the XX

[wefanscomingsoon]

Gotta say it took you guys long enough to get em in the studio!

Great video.

[misty666]

i love oliver.<3 i love them all actually. but i love oliver the most.

[juliiaa200]

Omg their voices are soo amazing, love this.

[halochick23]

@beyondblues omg!!! he does lol

[jh4124]

Well that was fast. I'm guessing the show is recorded earlier in the morning before it airs at 10?

[hummpy]

Rad!!!!!

[abbythesuperfreak]

this is so calming and her voice is so intriguing....
