This track was released a little over a week ago and is a demo The xx did while they were working on their new album.
I am excited to hear what The xx come up with on their second LP, but this song did not fuel that excitement. It is a very simple, slow song that isn't close to what we come to expect from this type of band. However, this is only a demo and might not even appear on the album. Lets hope they can come up with some more revolutionary tracks than "Open Eyes" on their next album set to be release in 2012.
I felt the same way when I heard it. It's a nice tune once you listen to it a few times, but it left me scratching my head.
