Sometimes hooks are so mangled from their original form that singing along becomes impossible. As if that would prevent us from trying. To little success, we tried arching our lungs over the cut-up voice of Florence Welch here, though even met with failure it’s still lodged in our brains. The xx resung the rest of the tune for their 2-steppy sorta cover/remix, where xylophone and harp seem like logically urbane instrument choices. Very couth, guys. Florence and The Machine are headed back to North America in October for a trio of gigs in New York, L.A., and Toronto. Those dates and many more European ones are up on their MySpace.
