Editor’s pick: The xx

Share

The xx are a young British band whose self-titled debut is a quiet, 3 a.m. (eternal) masterpiece of smoky restraint. Singer and guitarist Romy Madley Croft looks like a young Alison Moyet and picks at her guitar with intent; bassist Oliver Sim moves to and from the mike with casual grace, and percussionist Jamie Smith pokes at vintage synthetic beat boxes using his fingers as drumsticks. The Music Box, 6126 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles. 8 p.m. Sat. $22.50. https://www.henryfondatheater.com. Also at the Wiltern, 3790 Wilshire Blvd., L.A. 8 p.m. Sun. $25. https://www.wiltern.com.
