The XX – Coexist LP // Essential Purchase

September 10, 2012

These days everyone wants your money. Team SGTMT were out on the streets of London buying a bicycle pump and toothbrushes this afternoon (living the dream) and we decided to take a detour through Camden Market on the way back to our Headquarters.

If you’ve ever been to the market and passed through the food stalls, you’ll know what happens; “TRY PORK CHOW MEIN!!“, “HERE! HERE!! TRY CHICKEN SATAY TRY CHICKEN SATAY! HERE!!” and “SIR! SIR! NOODLES! NOOOOOODLES!” are yelled at you until you find you’re either running to escape, or handing over cash for food you didn’t want.

Killer sales technique that, it’s shock and awe street food. It really works.

Today we ran to escape because we needed to keep our cash for something better (and less congealed); today sees the release of The XX‘s Coexist LP. We humbly suggest you pour your cash in the direction of this record.

Here’s two reasons why. Firstly, Angels:

And now Chained:

That’s a great record and well worth your money. We didn’t even shout. Enjoy.

BUY Coexist in the UK or in the US.

    ‘Shock and awe street food’. Classic SGTMT. Cats have once again fled my laughter, no doubt off to massacre mice. Hey, if I thought The XX or their fans would be miffed by my lack of attention to the actual music aspect of your review …… sorry, forgot where I was going with that.
