THIS IS LIL WHY

Hercules And Love Affair- Shelter (The XX Cover)

Funky and fresh cover.  We expect nothing less from Herc and Co.  In this cover they up the electro and tune down the funk appropriately.  We’re pretty sure The XX would dig.

Home sweet home.

Gorrilaz- Crystalised (The XX Cover)

Way to make this fabulous XX single shiny and new: an eerie hybrid of a ballad and lullaby.  No monkeying around here, folks.

This shit is bananas.

The XX- Hot Like Fire (Aaliyah Cover)

A fun little bonus track to one of last year’s best albums. Weird that something allegedly so hot sounds so chill.  That pun was pretty bad even for Lilwhy…

I’m fired.

Wait What- Dead Wrong Intro (The Notorious B.I.G v.s The XX)

If you still think The XX doesn’t work with Biggie then you’re dead wrong. 

BIG track, yo.

Wait What- Islands Is The Limit (The Notorious B.I.G v.s The XX)

Wait what? How cool have mash-ups become in the last year?  The notion “unlikely duo” seems to be a necessity for a supremely unique track. 

Well done, DJs.

The Hood Internet- The XX Gonna Give It To Ya

DmXX.  It’s so crazy it just might work.  Consider this an xcellent mash-up.

Musical DMXXstacy allowing for unprecedented xcessive punning.

The XX- Intro

Let the brilliant first track off this self-titled introduce you to the year in a most chillin’ fashion.

Happy new decade.

The XX- Crystalised

X still marks the spot.  We’re predicting these Brits are the next Hot Chip like sensation.  Funny they met at Elliot school where some Hot Chip band members attended!

Wiki places them in the genre of “Dream Pop,” sounds like candy/popsicle/soda what’s not to like?!

The XX- Shelter (Them Jean Drums Edit)

These up and coming Brits have only released one album as of August, but expect their future to be signed with an “xx.”

Given us shelter from the storm!
