I like rock music, for heavy thrashing beats and dirty blues. And while the indie pop band The Xx does not sound like anything you have ever heard before, it does, all at once, sound like everything you like. The vocals are silky, the melodies are enjoyable, the beats not too heavy, but driving. But especially, the timing - that's what in fact makes this group astounding. They have you hanging on their every word. The music - you keep waiting for the beats with such an enticing building to the songs that you sense yourself just lost. It's remarkable without being cheesy, and makes you cry for and long for someone to share it with so much that you'd vow you're back in high school.
