The Xx… my new favorite band
They may not be brand new but they are new to me. I hear atmospheric indie pop that is ice cold. I hear The Cure on the way to another galaxy running through the endless void of outer space. I feel like I am walking over the immensity of solid sea ice in constant dark winter as the northern lights dance over my head….
But that might be just me.
That is the great thing about having a music blog and pushing yourself ever so slightly to jump into some strange waters. Once you get over that first shock –you often find that the water is kind of nice and before you know it, you are having a nice refreshing swim.
This blog post is all about not being that guy who thinks the best music has already been done.
That guy who says music today is all crap.
Just slow down –get over yourself—–and listen——-really listen.
The XX are great. I love that song “the Islands”. The video is very good too.
