​Proof that music can be sexy and subtle at the same time, London's The xx craft wintry, minimalist jams that maximize the hot 'n' heavy. With male-female come-ons slithering over basic drum machine beats, and disco guitar lines made for slow dancing in dark corners, The xx have made a loud buzz based on fairly quiet music.
