| The XX – Crystalised Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
The XX have an authentic, original, and an excessively casual style of music. Listening, it sounds almost careless in the way the melodies meander, but it retains beauty and meaning. Oliver Sim sounds like he is singing in his sleep. If music were a water park, his voice would be the lazy river attraction for all the tag-along parents. Their album is the type that I can put on repeat while doing work, and neither be bored, nor over-stimulated and distracted.
Despite its ability to work as background music some of the sounds are definitely pretty interesting, namely the first half or so of Fantasy. The eerie hollowness resembled in my mind the distant lonely drone of a Muslim call to prayer in some middle-eastern city. Where low-fi bands like Wavves overload the senses, The XX leaves me with a craving for more.

I love the way this song kind of meanders along, much like summer. beauty in simplicity...shares a kind of nostalgia in relatively few words. |

agreed on the prostitute interpretation.
adding: does the continual "what's your name?" at the end of the song refer to frequently dealing with complete strangers possibly |

definitely the best song of the new ep. it doesnt sound similar to any of the stuff on narrow stairs, more like the earlier album something about airplanes. probs why it didnt make the cut for narrow stairs. too bad.
yeah lizzie88 i think "because im a man who hides from all that binds" and "and there's a tangled thread inside my head with nothing on either end" follow that theme of immaturity. it kind of sounds like ben is somehow disappointed... |

glorification of instinct in animals over the reason of humans. i like the application on relationships (like in the music video) but i think it does have quite a bit of room for broad interpretation. basically why skirt your wants in the name of formality. |
