The xx are a trio formed in 2005 at London, England. The band members are Romy Madley Croft (vocals, lead guitar), Oliver Sim (vocals, bass guitar), and Jamie Smith (beats, MPC sampler). Rounding out the group was Baria Qureshi (keyboards), who left the group because of the pressures of an intensive touring schedule.

Bonding over a shared love of dark, emotive 80s guitar sounds and the high-end sheen of American R&B, The xx’s unique sound befits a band whose wide range of influences combine beautiful, hushed vocal duets and a brilliantly inventive use of samples and low-end frequencies to realizează stark, sweet, melancholic pop.

The group released their debut album xx on 17 August 2009. The album was recorded in a small garage and produced by the band. It garnered critical acclaim and has been generally well-received, scoring an average of 86/100 based on 24 professional reviews. Also it ranked on “best of the year” lists with Rolling Stone placing it at #9 and NME placing it at #2.

Four singles were released from xx album: Crystalised, Basic Space, Islands and VCR.

The xx remixed the classic song You’ve Got the Love originally written by The Source and covered by Florence + The Machine. They also added their own vocals on the song.

Desi i-am descoperit recent, acum cateva zile, pot spune ca imi plac foarte mult, in singular Crystalised [pe care am auzit-o in Gossip Girl si de-atunci o ascult obsesiv] si Intro.
Youtube them or send me a pm for their songs, merita :) .
