I've had the xx on replay for I don't even know how many times. Oliver + Romy's vocals are that perfect male/female vocal combo that seem to be so rare and are in such harmony, it reminds me of the Pixies and Black Francis and Kim Deal in the very best way possible. Their debut album xx is one of those rare albums that convey so much emotion and feeling it's at points almost feels like you're intruding into something special. It has a really intimate, melodic quality to it. Lonely guitar rifts coupled with evocative vocals make this arguably the best thing I've listened to in a very, very, very long time.
Listen to:"Islands", "Heart Skipped A Beat" and "Shelter"
