The xx put out one of our favorite records this year and to our enjoyment there are a few bonus tracks that were not included on that album. The first track, “Do You Mind” is an erotic conversation featuring the bands harmonic call-and-return vocals back by blistering drum beats. The second song is something special, a creeping cover of Aaliyah’s “Hot Like Fire” that was only available on the bands debut single on 7″ vinyl, and limited to 500 copies. Enjoy these tracks and tell us where The xx record charts on your top records of the year.
