album of the day:
xx "xx" ~
it's the AM hours before work and i was really interested in listening to this album because so many people recommended it. shout out to SR for the FB wall posting! also, my buddy MA told me about a XX/Biggie mash up that i just have to hear (!!!) so i was very anxious to hear this album in preparation of hearing an extremely awesome one!
but honestly, this debut album by XX seriously kicks ass. made up of a guy, a girl, and a drum machine, it's hard, it's soft, it's got guitars, and it feels overall... futuristic! i was pleasantly surprised when my ears took a liking to this sound during the first 'intro' track and i'm seriouslyyyy still diggin' it. so far, i have yet to hear a track that i don't like and i'm halfway through the album.
moral of the story: an absolute download. even buy it if you have to! (ha! yea right...)
favorite song(s): 'crystalised' and 'islands' and 'shelter' and 'stars'
favorite lyric(s): "i'll forgive and forget before i'm paralyzed / do i have to keep up this pace to keep you satisfied?" from 'crystalised' AND "don't rest with the best / i'm burning to impress" from 'fantasy' AND "maybe i had said something that was wrong / can i make it better with the lights turned on?" from 'shelter'
BONUS! video of 'crystalised' ~ enjoy!
