Although London’s The xx haven’t been in the US since December, luckily we got the stellar trio into WXPN to record a World Cafe session at the end of last year. And, again, luckily that session is due to air today at 2PM EST. Tune in on 88.5 on regular old radio or online at XPN.org. It’s sure to be worth your while and will help to stave off your xx hunger until the band returns in March.
