The xx are an English indie pop band, formed in London in 2005. The band’s members (Jamie Smith, Romy Madley Croft, Oliver Sim) met while studying at Elliott School, notable for alumni including Hot Chip, Burial and Four Tet. In September 2010 they won the Barclaycard Mercury Prize. The xx recorded their debut album, with the title xx, in a small garage that was part of the XL studios, often at night, which contributed to the sleek, whispery nature of the album. The above music video shows their beautiful track called Islands.
