Mood music – the xx
I came across the xx a few months back while perusing some of the music recap articles of 2009. It’s mood music for the nighttime. For an essentially new band, the finished result is remarkably well constructed, and it’s interesting to see the ‘less is more’ approach still alive in a time when anything seems to go.

Another tracks to check out are Islands, Crystalised, and Heart Skipped a Beat.
Bonus track for Greg – gotta give credit to Troy for finding this. here’s a sweet remix of DMX and the XX. I never thought I’d read those two artists in the same sentence! Caution: NSFW.
