The xx have announced two shows in Dublin’s Olympia theatre on the 7th and 8th of December (Friday and Saturday), with tickets going on sale on Monday at 9. I must admit that while I quite liked the bands first album, it did kind of just waft over me, and I couldn’t really say any song I particularly liked on it!

The new album Coexist is out now, with Chained being the first single. It… wafts over me again I’m afraid. No idea what they’d be like live, but doubt it works that well…
