“and the music don’t feel like it did with you”
is a lyric from The XX’s song Teardrop. Hailing from the Windish Agency is a London quartet of childhood friends, that share the same interest in anti-folk and 90s R&B. Their album share influences like Aaliyah to the Chromatics, the Pixies to Mariah Carey, and Cocorosie to Genuine, etc. So if you catch my drift, it’s quite nice to the ears. I fell for this quartet back in April… the soft vocals, experimental music notes, and the lyrics could get pretty deep and dark— and that is what i love. It seems kids nowadays are getting more and more talented, being that the XX is a group of four 19 year olds. That’s dope. What do they call it? Young Influentials. Yeah that’s right. I’ve been Hype Machining them before their album debuted and now that it’s out, it’s one of the most anticipated albums of 2009 according to Pitchfork. So I suggest you plug in your headphones or crank up your speakers and start listening to this album I’m about to share with you.
