Two of the hottest bands this late summer are the goth-folk experience known as the xx…and the world-influenced bubble pop of JJ. Their success is due to the simplified approach to music making…that bigger isn’t necessarily better. And the brevity of their names is a perfect example of how little you need to do to get your point across. But they are not the first to try their hand at the double letter naming…in fact there are already a long line of suitors.
