Soon after they first met, experienced musicians Tommi Koskinen and Hanna Toivonen wrote a song together. A very good song. Then they received an invitation to play at SXSW, but they only had six weeks to turn that one song into a set. They managed, and that one set became five sets due to an enthusiastic response by the audience. The xx became fans of the Finnish duo and their downtempo electro filled with catchy and bittersweet melodies, often compared to Massive Attack, Portishead and The xx. To see them live, with a MIDI theremin in the shape of a UFO, is quite an experience.
