The XX

I love music, and although I am closed-minded by default, I really try hard not to be.  Some individuals think I am new music-averse, but I'm not; I'm just picky, as all new music must compete for my music listening time.  Accept it.

The XX.  I was in Fingerprints in Long Beach about a year ago, and heard these guys on the overhead.  The simplicity haunted me.  It cast out the rock norms which I had grown tired of about 10 years prior.  The XX have everything which I require in simple music:  deep bass, good drum sounds, synths, and, most importantly of all, great songs.  What about the guitar?  Well, if I played guitar, I would play it exactly as she does. 

The XX.  I want to see them live.
