shaped like a heart



this song sounds so interpol / joy division / new order / cure-ish, how could i resist? sure, it could've gone the way of, "what a silly knock off" and given it the boot, but i'm really digging on the xx's heart skips a beat. this song sounds like peter hook or carlos d. was playing on it. at first play (and several afterwards), i wasn't even hearing the singing, just the background music of bass, synths and drum machine. heavenly pop purr-ection.

love it.

thanks to christopher for the tip.

yep, that's pretty catchy. hard not to listen to it more than once.

btw, originality in music is overrated in my book. as long as it's done well, i don't really care if it's been done before.

@ dave - i feel the same way. there's lots of bands that i love that have been so obviously influenced by others before them.
