The xx's debut album advert is the best music advert ever As the band in black promise their return, watch the famous ‘xx’ Skins advert, which is both 10 masterful seconds of music advertising, and an excellent way to blow a marketing budget.
Just reminded of this, moment of TV gold with news of The xx’s new album. The ad itself starts 46 seconds in, but to appreciate the unashamedly elitist amount of assumed knowledge inherent in simply projecting a single, puritan white X on the background in full, watch the Biffy Clyro one before.
