Beautiful and bare guitar and vocals on ‘Crystalized’ by The xx this week. The type of song that you just really want to hear performed live.
I really like the way the two sets of vocals play off each other - separately they resonate distinctly, but when they overlap with one another, they sound like a new third voice. Haven’t heard that much since the White Stripes.
Very cool. They hit it very hard at CMJ and I think 2010 is going to be really big for them. Check them out at Webster Hall this Friday if you can.
