As a songwriter (I use that term sparingly... and wishfully), the theme of acting for someone, for putting on a performance, is something I've definitely played around with since we're all guilty of it. It's captured really well in the lyrics of this song, and though the music is eerie without much of a grasp, the deeper listening is what makes it work.
In listening to this, I was trying to determine the redeeming quality. I go back and forth on how I feel about The xx (I shared my personal background on this in my January article for Geekade - which you can read right here). Sometimes they have great music. Sometimes it's hard to grasp onto, like this.
