+Emiliano Haag Obviously it's better than sounding like a stripped-down version, but why not just listen to the album then ? It's better when they transform the songs, play different versions of them.
The xx has a sound that's kind of hard to nail down. It's like they play with a level of intensity that's kept right below the surface or something. It's hard to explain, but they are probably my favorite current band.
I think every song they write has the energy of two people who are secretly, passionately in love with each other, but they are both married to other people, so they go on acting as if they're friends, and there is this dormant volcano just waiting to explode everyone's life.
I just finished watching this. They are so talented and so young. Oliver said they have been together with the writing and music since they were 15 or 16 years old. Wonderful to see them evolve and grow...and to think they actually use their personal relationships for all their songs..very smooth very cool..very organic and natural. I'm so glad I saw them on SNL in Nov.2016 and to think they've been around all this time and I'm just now getting into them...They are mesmerizing, the combination of swaying smooth Rhythms and rich deep and haunting voices...sometimes a whisper, other times, intense and deeply low. Wonderful!
er mah gur! I totally know what you mean! I did not like the xx at all when i first heard them but now theyre one of my favourites! If I added all the time that I have listened to 'the intro' it would be around a week straight :P
And to think that when they 1st posted one of their best songs on here , that they were bagged the shit out of them, even so much as making fun of the female's "Overbite" I hope that they are eating their words now. I reported as many as i could, but they were quite relentless. Why don't some ppl embrace hearing something new ?? I am fully supportive of this band for sticking with it.
This is my favorite band. What is fenomenal about this band is that their song can mesmerize and completely cover us with the emotion it is radiating. Their first song I heard was Intro, and what a fenomenal song it is. Since then, I am listening to The XX on a regular basis and I never get bored.
Greeting from Mexico 🇲🇽 I love this band since before I was in USA! Times flys by 🥹 nostalgic moments with my family and good friend 🚙 driving through the mountains of NORTH CAROLINA on a fall of October 🥺😭
I love her voice, so sweet and yet so piercing. I like how these two have such a contrast dynamic between them. It creates a unique balance, you just don't see it often. Mad Respect. x.x
I dont know if they are or not but both singers have gay faces, which sounds terrible but i dont know u can just tell from some peoples faces its strange because it isnt their mannerism or make up or hair cut, if i just saw a normal picture of both there faces I would immediately presume they wer gay, nothing wrong with it I just find it weird that with some gay people their faces alone give it away. great band, great sound, a talented bunch no doubt
Really!? Could not imagine it was possible to sound better than they already do pumped at full volume in my car! See them in 2 months-can't wait and this just makes it even better! Bon Iver was like that as well. Rocked me socks off.
it sounds like a new way to make music, simply awsome
I need them again in this point of my life. Hello me from ten years a go.
How does he do that with his neck at 0:18
Linus Martin HAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHA WTF
he's a reptile
Linus Martin omfg im cryin hahaha
Fiction is the theme song to my dreams
I can't get sound!
I love bands that sounds like their albums.
+Emiliano Haag Obviously it's better than sounding like a stripped-down version, but why not just listen to the album then ? It's better when they transform the songs, play different versions of them.
So do I! And they do it perfectly
Bands with no creativity usually do that. Play only what they have trainned to do.
Alternatively, they record what they know they can play live
yeah, XX are so uncreative..
Minimalism at its finest.
minimalism shminimalism.

dark zaku that's probably because music feels it, so you're not wrong at all.
dark zaku AGREED!
I liked this a year ago.. Came back today and tried to like it again. This statement puts how I feel about the xx into words
yea it is hard to nail down but it pulls you in and keeps you /me riveted to listening. Very kool

Thank you for that gorgeous write-up!
🥳🥳🙏
i have so much respect for these three. their music brings so much comfort for me.
If you don’t, you should listen to Jamie xx he stay dropping bangers almost monthly
@@Methoverbitches why did they split ?
why is Eminem so sad
Hahaha u kill me.
Haha nope, he smiled once
+jeffrey cano he's sorry for his mama haha
lol
+jeffrey cano he`s goth
My God, they sound exactly the same live as they do in their album, it's great
I don't really enjoy this, with only a few exceptions. I think live performance should have a differential. Something unique.
+Luis A. Sanchez Why would you want the same, facsimile, of the recording - would you not want something unique in a live space.
QUERO TE CONHECER
Yes. It's beautiful

Holy shit their personalities are just like their songs chill lol
They harmonize beautifully together...with so much soul.
everything sounds so smooth
that hollow sounding guitar cuts right to the soul
one of the greatest bands ever
And one of the most underrated
+MrSyabuSyabu most atmospheric band ever. Love their mood
Well, the lyrics however leave a lot yet to be desired.
You can't have everything...
Harry Chapin = Amazing lyrics
+MrSyabuSyabu i used to say that four years ago
Her voice is so beautiful and his voice is so handsome. They go perfect together!

I want to be that microphone!

TheDimidom I agree! Jamie XX is SOOO talented!
Xxx345
Good girl .hhh
TheDimidom go check his debut album! its great!
Like many people, I never got their music when they first came out. But hearing this now it all makes sense.
er mah gur! I totally know what you mean! I did not like the xx at all when i first heard them but now theyre one of my favourites! If I added all the time that I have listened to 'the intro' it would be around a week straight :P
I am offically addicted to The xx
I want to be his microphone.
I could listen to Olivers voice all day 💓
Same i like how its deep and smooth
me too
"Sunset" is unspeakably beautiful
Their music is so mesmerizing

And to think that when they 1st posted one of their best songs on here , that they were bagged the shit out of them, even so much as making fun of the female's "Overbite"

Why don't some ppl embrace hearing something new ??
I am fully supportive of this band for sticking with it.

everybody check out London Grammar on kexp, they are dope as shizz!!
Cheryl Waters is the star of KEXP.
Shoutout to us listening in 2023!
meant to check this out and go to bed but ive stayed for the entire time
So genuine...amazing melodies and beautiful voices...Oliver is pure beauty...:-)
99 % of XX fans: "Why aren't they playing Heart Skipped A Beat!?!!?".
Kids, they have other beautiful songs too.
Its probably more around 40%. They just also happen to be the loudest 40%.
bcrich327 preach that shit to hell and back. bandwagon fans always overpower the rest of the world.
Hell yea. I listen to both albums ( Coexist + The XX ) at least once a day. It keeps me sane. Probably know every title in order.
angels is one of the most breathtaking songs ever composed. thank you for that guys
Rediscovering this band made my day.
Am I the only one who's in love with Oliver? Likee.. Wow
I discovered them one month ago. Now i'm totally in love with this band, she has a beautiful voice!
This is my favorite band. What is fenomenal about this band is that their song can mesmerize and completely cover us with the emotion it is radiating. Their first song I heard was Intro, and what a fenomenal song it is. Since then, I am listening to The XX on a regular basis and I never get bored.

What's this chics name??? Not the chick that sings most in the middle front and sounds like a boy in a girl body. but the girl, t
I have fell in love with this band , I really really like their music and their personalities 🌱
I always get hypnotized by this performance.
Buena musica hermosas melodias The Xx
I like it 😁💥
GEEBUZ, her voice literally gives me goosebumps! *swoon to the max*
Her voice reminds me a lot to "Everything but the girl"
Daniel De la Fuente - was just hinking that. That 2nd song sounds like an EBTG song
these guys helped me find a piece of me that i didnt know was there.
I always thought it was sad the way we act like strangers, after all that we had, we act like we never met.
q triste todo
It is incredible to listen to this over the years. I am always left speechless by the atmosphere in their songs.
I i'm 55 an Swedish a very male. I love her, It all codes.
Listening this in 2024
Greeting from Mexico 🇲🇽 I love this band since before I was in USA! Times flys by 🥹 nostalgic moments with my family and good friend 🚙 driving through the mountains of NORTH CAROLINA on a fall of October 🥺😭
My god,great band!
Som magnífico! Pena que não tem muito público e adeptos ao estilo no Brasil. Isso é música!
I love her voice, so sweet and yet so piercing. I like how these two have such a contrast dynamic between them. It creates a unique balance, you just don't see it often.
Mad Respect. x.x
Heroine...
I can't wait for the new album.... and live concerts.
if you really listen to the lyrics, it's a really sad song.
They're pure love ❤
Is this one long song or different songs ???
brutal underated musik group
"Angels" is a really striking song
Forreal tho, romy's tone #goddamn
No debieron haber muerto :(
net als op het album, super ❤
Spine tingling music. Thank you KEXP for for introducing the world to so many beautiful musicians.
beautiful really
idk why but the male singer looks like flume to me
What a sound🤯 Art of music🖤
Gosh this is love !!!!
I just love them!!!! Amazing performance...
Oliver, my love!
Lead singer looks like Mr Orange from reservoir dogs
😂 He does look like a young Tim Roth
I thought it was Adrian Borland.....
Great music!
nice soounds guys!!...is a magical introspection..and just I closed my eyes and ..wow!
Magnific! ;)
I love this set. Sunset is my favorite, found the video late summer of 2014. Reminds me of then, a sad but nostalgic time.
Really quite exceptional
when he said "im 23" I was like WHAAAAAT? im 26 and even write a song. good job XX
I am surprised there is no comment on "suits" here...
Shankar Sivan I guess one of their songs was used in the show? I found Phantogram after hearing them last season. Great show/great music.
Don't skip the interview
I dont know if they are or not but both singers have gay faces, which sounds terrible but i dont know u can just tell from some peoples faces its strange because it isnt their mannerism or make up or hair cut, if i just saw a normal picture of both there faces I would immediately presume they wer gay, nothing wrong with it I just find it weird that with some gay people their faces alone give it away. great band, great sound, a talented bunch no doubt
What a ridiculously pointless comment
the only thing more ridiculous n pointless would be pointing out just how ridiculous and pointless a comment it was. so bravo
thecheatinghearts do you not see what you just did there? This could literally go on forever. Bye
Really!? Could not imagine it was possible to sound better than they already do pumped at full volume in my car! See them in 2 months-can't wait and this just makes it even better! Bon Iver was like that as well. Rocked me socks off.
