Anyone ever heard of them? or have i been living in a cave?

Was curious as to what was the theme tune was for the BBC political ads and turned out to be this
The XX :: Intro pretty cool beat although not usually my kinda thing, but from this i found
The XX :: Night Time
&
The XX :: Crystalized

Which i really like, opinions? anyone heard of them etc or know any more of their tunes/anything similar?

Living in a cave mate, the album has been out for nearly a year now I think, they won the Mercury music prize only a few days ago with that album. The album is decent but gets repetative very quickly, the intro is the best thing on there.

I'd heard a few of their tracks on Radio 1 lately but not a big fan.

Female in the band looks like more of a man than the two guys

Hmmm I'd never heard of them til hearing they'd won the mercury prize, having just now listened to them I'm not fused, the riffs are good but repetetive and the singing is a tad depressing no?

The BBC have been using their tracks on adverts for a while now. That's how I heard about them

Love Intro. It's on the channel 4 'seven days' advert at the minute.

Intro is great but getting rapidly overused on TV imo.

Had their album for quite a while now too, is pretty good, but can't listen to it all in 1 hit - good for shuffle on the iPod though!

That's possibly the worst version of that song ever, actually not possibly, it is the worst version.
