Future Soul: The xx

The xx by Owen Richards
The xx doesn't have an easily Google-able name, but the London quartet's sound is instantly identifiable. The group's debut, "xx," is filled with songs that borrow from modern R&B, vintage New Wave and melancholic electronica for a strikingly original melange. Even more impressive is the musicians' average age: 20.

DC9 is tiny, so the buzzed-about concert has been sold out, but check some videos after the jump to see if you wanna go the scalped route to see the show.

» DC9, 1490 9th St. NW; Sun., Nov. 15, 8:30 p.m., sold out; 202-483-5000. (U St.-Cardozo)
