The xx: What Gives?
New band The XX – or alternatively the xx, but who cares, it’s all the same – are kicking up quite a storm of passion over their début album (guess what it’s titled because I am not going to tell you). Could this be the start of a low-key ultra smooth rock revolution? Hmm…we’ll see about that… The critics love this band and it’s not hard to see why: they are experimental, not afraid to be different and happy to strip their songs right down to bare basics – something which, in my opinion, works really well. But the future of the xx remains to be seen. Because, if you think seriously about it, where do you go once you’ve gone that low-key? The problem this band face is one that could indeed cripple them: do they choose a slightly different direction and risk sounding like everyone else, being too progressive, too die-hard going for new stuff? Or do they keep their sound how it is – how it was – and hope that fans are contented enough with this style of music to keep listening to new versions of the same track over and over again? In many ways, of course, these questions are irrelevant; to my mind it doesn’t look as though any of the band asked for the accolades being bestowed upon them. I can easily see some cheap bikes for sale outside their apartment / studio some time in the near future, along with a small caravan for staying in while they record their new album.
