A celebration of the veteran alt-rockers' 20th anniversary as a band, the aptly named XX offers up a career-spanning collection of their biggest hits and most vital live performances. It includes some new material as well, with the lead single being documented in the new Qello Concerts series Evolution of a Song -- an original programming weekly series based on the process of songwriting. The two-disc set coincides with the hard-touring collective's 2016 XX Tour: Evolution of a Revolution. ~ James Christopher Monger
