The xx Leak New Demo "Open Eyes"

There’s nothing better than receiving a new song from The xx on Christmas! My favourite indie band has leaked a demo “Open Eyes”, which was recorded during the production of their impending sophomore album.

Featuring a sparse consisting of a lonely guitar, the song stays in path with the sound that we found on their debut. I obviously love it, but it’s a demo so I’m hoping that they also try to incorporate different musical elements.

Listen to “Open Eyes” below. 

The xx Currently Busy With Second Album

Pitchfork has just reported one of the best news articles of the year! 2010’s breakthrough act and Mercury Music Prize-winning stars The xx are currently recording their second album as I type this post.

To accompany the recording process of this album, a new blog has been created that will be used to post “inspirations + pictures + favourite songs”. This is such a clever way to gather even more fans after they experience the brilliance of their self-titled debut album.
