Meet my favorite new band – The xx the sweet timid looking foursome produce the most melancholy yet catchy pop music you could ever hear. Their music has been described a “a chill  mix of  The Kills, Velvet Underground and Sleater-Kinney.” Their debut album which was recorded in the garage of XL Recordings office (that’s so London!) comes out in August. They then hit the road in September opening up for Mercury Music Prize nominee  Florence and the Machine . Check for more on The xx, their label mates and lightspeed friends at Young Turks
