The XX are back.


So I try not to do back to back music posts. Always nice to break things up. However, yesterday, the absolute coolest thing happened. The XX came back with the first single off of their third album that's set to drop in January.

PRAISE THE LORDS.

I'm not here to waste your time so:




In true XX fashion it's prettily morose and beautiful but oddly enough...samples a Hall & Oats song?! SO. AWESOME. It's only a small lil snippet but it's so warped it sounds beyond catchy as a hook. 

It's interesting, upon listening to it for the first time you're kind of thinking that they've gone a bit more upbeat than their previous songs. It's slightly more uptempo for sure. Listening to it a bit more though, the melancholy brooding is still there. It's bittersweet sounding. Maybe it's the fact that I've been on the road and I'm already kind of missing home, but it's really resonating with me on a different level. 

All I can say is...I'm really happy they're back.
