The XX - The XX (2009)
The song “Heart Skipped A Beat” completely does my head in! This is the entire The Cure’s “Seventeen Seconds” wrapped up in one song.
commentsI hummed and ha’d about getting this on vinyl and relented today when it finally made an appearance at TWH.
I’m glad I did - it’s a fucking monster of a record that deserves the uncompressed, unrestrained bandwidth of analogue.
As a bonus, they also throw in the CD version in the package as well.
The XX continue to sound uniquely like The XX. That’s completely forgiveable - it’s always brilliant.
