THE XX album out now

The only British album worth getting in a fit about is out today. woot. XX by The XX (confusing) is lo fi sounding, spacious and totally amazing. The album was recorded in a tiny room down at XL records by the band themselves. exploring space and 'less is more' is a key element of the album like some kind of modernist painting. Maybe like a Mondrian. The album is chilled out but still has that killer melody, bass line and guitar hook. Pure genius
