Though people say their music is very "teenage", it actually has a very sophisticated sound that has a lot of space in it - it just sounds like Romy (second from right in the photo), Oliver (left of Romy), Oliver's bass, some tinny drums, and an endlessly quiet universe. "Crystalised", "Islands" (a free download in the U.S. iTunes Music Store last week), and the instrumental "Intro" are tracks you should definitely preview. I would go see them at the Doug Fir Lounge in Portland but I'm not old enough to go! D:

The XX rock. Can't wait to see them in Copenhagen in 2010. I have to share these visuals for the same track made by my friend Morten: http://vimeo.com/7217502
