The XX nounces work on their 2nd album. Woo hoo!

From beginning to end, The Xx's debut self-titled album is an amazing display of post punk, indie, synth pop, and moody tunes.  I first heard about them at Coachella 2010 which is when they dropped their first album.  Very excited to hear what they're cooking up for 2012 and am hoping they tour So Cal asap!  The biggest track off of the their debut is "Crystallised", and was featured for the HBO promotions of  the hit series True Blood.  Since the band has gone on hiatus the only person to my knowledge that has been keeping busy is Jaime Xx.  Jamie who is the percussionist / Synths for the band has been putting out some pretty good production and remixes for the likes of Florence and the Machine, Radiohead, and Adele (to name his more mainstream projects) with a nice origianl twist.  He has even done an essential mix for BBC's Radio One that is definately worth a listen. Can't wait for the new album!
