During the first few months of 2010, you couldn't watch television without Florence popping up in the background of some trails or another. Now that moment's passed, it seems that The XX are the latest 'trail friendly' band. After 'Crystallised' popped up, much to the anguish of a snobby indie fan, on the 90210 Channel 4 trail, it's now time for 'Islands' to take centre stage seemingly in the position of the BBC's election advert song.
Handy then, that it's the band's next single. I saw them for the first proper time over at SXSW in a dimly lit Methodist church in Austin and it was magical. Now for 'Islands', video director Saam Farahmand (Cheryl's 3 words) has managed to create something very special out of the story of love breaking apart through a delicately changing dance routine. Totally mesmerising.
