The xx “Crystalised”

Been a bit out of touch with music for the last month but recently captivated by The xx.

Discovered them via Carles at HRO who was ripping the piss out of the video for “Crystalised”. I was rolling my eyes for the first 30 seconds and was then hooked and hypnotised. Nice and sparse. I like calling them PJ Division or Joy Harvey for fun (but that’s not very funny). Check out their myspace for their brilliant cover of Womack and Womack’s “Teardrops”!

Put this in your diary now! Permanence (Joy Division covers project) at The Dux on Saturday 16 May 2009
