The XX "xx" – favorite album of the week
One of my latest most-frequently-listened-to albums is the debut release by London quartet, The XX (titled simply “xx”)
.
Very minimalist, catchy, but not distracting. Perfect background music for photo-editing or long drives!
Check out this track, “VCR”…one of my favorites from the album:
