This time only one review, but more on the way, when I have time to listen to latest cds I got (Patrick Wolf Luprecalia 2cd set and Florence & The Machine). So this time it´s XX.
This one is another mid-tempo album of minimalistic electronics and nice vocals. The male vocalist sounds like Damien Rice and that voice suits the album well. It is good package and all the songs play well together. So the album is good as whole. Not too long and luckily it has no fillers thrown in. You couuld argue that the albums songs are too similar, bu that didn´t bother me. As I said before the it is rather minimal and leans heavily on vocals to bring soulness to the record. Somehow it reminds me of Knife´s Silent Shout partly, especially slower tunes from that record. It has bit similar feeling. Album has 11 tracks and that is very good amount of them. Sleeve is stylish as is the pictured cover. So the cover art is also simplistic as the cd, so they go hand in hand also well. This album is definetly worth checking out, if you like Fever Ray, Knife or Damien Rice´s voice.
