"Froze by desire"

The xx performing "Islands" off Later...



Theirs really has to be one of my favourite albums of the year. Absolute class. I think what I particularly like is their ... cool ... It's a cool borne not out of detachment, like so many others, but of attachment, a distance created to sing of the claustrophobia of attachment, being too close... This is a cool I can love: a cool that loves...
And Islands is one of the best tracks on there, though there are so many, it's a tough call.
