The XX - Crystalised, Live @ Metropolis Festival Rotterdam 2009

The xx are a London quartet, featuring the dual lead vocals of Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim (who also play lead guitar and bass guitar respectively), Baria Qureshi (keyboards and guitar) and Jamie Smith (beats, MPC sampler).

Bonding over a shared love of dark, emotive 80s guitar sounds and the high-end sheen of American R&B, The xxs unique sound befits a band whose wide range of influences include everything from Aaliyah to Cocorosie, Rhianna to The Cure, Missy Elliott to The Chromatics
and Mariah Carey to The Pixies.

I don't see what's wrong with her singing.

I could listen to her all day.

Theres something in this girl that sings that I dont like, I mean her way she sings not her cause I dont fucking know her, this song has a great potential but I think they are a bunch of freaks man.

Wow cant believe I was there and didn't know the band yet... Didn't know they would get so famous a few months later...

[beaudjangles]

when i was first going to see them i didn't think they could live up to the album but my god they rocked so effortlessly. supreme awesomeness

[xMarkmywords]

I wouldn't describe it as "sexy" as much as I'd describe it as "chill." They're just very laid-back vocalists. Which is completely okay. I prefer that sound to the screaming shit other bands do.
