NSR: The XX "Islands"

A lot of hype going around about this band right now. Insane hype. Early Strokes-level hype. Is it worth it? Probably not as these days bands can go from Black Sabbath to Black Kids in less than one album cycle. But they certainly have potential; the slow-burning "Islands" could most-definitely become an iPod staple for moody people in Doc Martin's.
