I’ve been a fan of The XX since they released their first album last 2009. Young artists, their songs are just a great escape from the usual regurgitated pop songs out there.
Yesterday, the Internet Explorer blog posted their new collaboration with The XX. Creating a simple and beautiful HTML 5 site, The XX’s new album, Co-Exist, can be streamed for free from the plug-in free site. From here you can view how many people are sharing their new album all over the world, a testament to the global outreach of the world wide web.
I love how The XX is embracing the web and streaming their album for free. You can still buy their album in different forms, (MP3, CD, LP) but I know streaming their album for free won’t affect their sales any one bit. And yes, I did pre-order the album 😉
If this is your first time hearing about The XX, share with us what you think. You’ll only hear a song for the first time once so make sure you embrace the moment.
