One of the most interesting and best things I've heard all year just came to me a week ago. The xx have created one of the most understated, beautiful and totally moving albums I have heard in a long time.

The debut single from the band, "Crystalised" has received copious amounts of press from NPR, Guardian, the nme and many others. Crystalised is an album highlight along with VCR, Shelter, Infinity... basically of the first 7 tracks only "Islands" is a bit of a lull and even it is good.
