By Aaron Hartley–

The XX are probably the biggest indie act to come out of the UK in the past decade. The trio released their self-titled debut in 2009 to critical fanfare.

The album’s near-skeletal minimalism stood out amongst the music of the time and became a popular standard for indie in the new decade. Their second album “Coexist” was not as critically praised, but continued the trends they began.

With their third and latest record, The XX veer off in a new direction, focusing on dance and electronic sound.
