The xx are a British band who, in my modest opinion, are not only a great band, but also my favourite band ever. They got me with their first record simply entitled "xx" and I remember lying in my bed at night, in the dark, just listening to their songs and thinking "wow I've never heard anything like this" and I believe that settled them as one of the best bands to ever exist.
Moving on, their second record "Coexist", which came out in early September of last year, really got me because of the obvious reasons stated above and because they did evolve in loads of aspects. Personaly, I'd like to point out the fact that Oliver Sim's voice (bassist and male singer) has gotten so much better (sometimes it send shivers down my spine). The band also consists of lead female singer and guitarist Romy Madley-Croft and synths/drums/so many things he plays-man Jamie Smith, most commonly known for Jamie xx. 
I must say my favourite song of this record is Unfold. The soft "oh-oohs" and the lyrics (...in my head / you tell me things you've never said / and I choose to forget / I take the good and leave the rest /...) are felt by ( I think) many people who've gone through that situation of wanting to say something, but because they are scared or embarrassed to say that, just let things unfold.
