Listening Post

Say hello to alternative's supposed Next Big Thing: Four kids (and I do mean kids, they're all 20-years-old) from London who make spare, strangely impersonal but somehow beautiful and, ironically, sensual music. They get my vote for one of the most interesting bands to come along in quite some time.

Seriously, do yourself a favor and check out the rest of these guys' debut album, which you can find on iTunes right now.

Here's The xx -- Basic Space.
