The record

Title: The xx – xx
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 2009, Rock, Indie Pop, London, England
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Studio Lore: Recorded at XL’s in-house space in West London with early takes kept on purpose—silence and room tone treated like “instruments.”

  2. Media Narrative: The original cover sparked a quiet legal tension with the arts world; the X logo echoed an existing design language enough to raise eyebrows.

  3. Scene Ecology: A document of the London post-dubstep overlap—guitar band minimalism marketed into the same late-2000s club-and-headphone audience.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
