Still thinking about ACL
I got into The XX in 2017. I picked up their album in a record shop because it was visually really cool. I had zero previous knowledge of them. I played a couple snippets on Spotify and was sold.
I’ve seen them twice now, most recently headlining ACL over the weekend. I got on barricade by myself and I’m still so floored. Idk what it is, but their music moves me in a way that few bands do. I’m just taken back, honestly. I love that their focus truly is the music. Their all black outfits and dark, simple stage design really pull you in.
If you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing them live, you MUST find a way!

shelter
I think it's ridiculously brilliant to transform Shelter into a dance floor. I used to cry a lot listening to this, and now I dance to it, and it's incredible.
