This British group released this debut album when they were just in their early twenties-a considerable feat, given just how fully-formed and polished this album is. Their influences include everything from post-punk to dream pop to indie to dubstep to R\u0026amp;B pop, but that doesn't mean any of their songs are scattered: in fact, they're so sleek they're almost sculptural. \"Intro\" is a long, monochromatic symphony, and it sets the cool, evocative feel The xx will come to be known for. \"VCR\" has clangy guitars reminiscent of the Young Marble Giants, while \"Infinity\" is a slip into the post-punk. There's a subtle sensuality here, there's romantic intrigue. It's a one-of-a-kind, memorable debut that proves The xx as one of the most important Brit indie groups to surface in recent years, and it'll leave you wanting more.

And despite the group's confident cobbling together of influences as far a field as contemporary and classic R\u0026amp;B (Aaliyah, Bobby Womack), atmospheric post-punk (Young Marble Giants, The Cure), and U.K. dance music (dubstep, trip-hop), it was hard to consider them as anything more than the latest hype from hype-crazed U.K. journos. That being said, The XX's 2009 full-length debut is about as fully-formed as first records come, much less ones created by four teenagers. Building upon the alluring vocal partnership of co-leads Oliver Sim and Romy Madley Croft, whose wounded call and response vocals sound mature beyond their years, XX manage to craft haunting synth-fueled melancholia that exudes disillusionment, coy sexuality, and, sometimes, even innocence, all at once. All of which makes THE XX a strong, confident debut from a remarkable young group.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u2028Tracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eA1        Intro    \u003cbr\u003e\r\nA2        VCR    \u003cbr\u003e\r\nA3        Crystalised\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA4        Islands\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA5        Heart Skipped A Beat\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA6        Hot Like Fire\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB1        Fantasy\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB2        Shelter    \u003cbr\u003e\r\nB3        Basic Space\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB4        Infinity\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB5        Night Time\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB6        Stars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e*Audio and\/or tracklist may vary slightly from the vinyl version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eLabel: BQTX\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCatalog: 40450\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRel.
