Get in the holiday spirit Start getting the Christmas blues with this track from The xx, a cover of Wham!'s Christmas classic. The song is actually a lot more upbeat from the band, recalling Jamie xx's solo material, with some pulsating synths sure to be a welcome surprise to the band's usual downtempo material.

PITCHFORK

She sounds a bit off, which is weird because they sounded so great live

I loved it

They can't do wrong.

The song is quite good. But I wanted some Christmas feel in this cover, it's a lil disappointing.

Sounds terrible

Especially the girl

They always sound so unsure of themselves.

This is very over-minimal, it makes them sound like a crappy garage band
