"Wicked Game" Redux

I'm reading Retromania, the new book by Simon Reynolds, and he references the song "Infinity" by the British band The xx. His reason for mentioning the song is its so obvious derivation from Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game". Reynolds writes "It really is a study, an exercise in technique, in the sense that the band have written a new song entirely within the very specific and immediately recognizable texture palette and emotional atmosphere of Isaak's original." Listen and hear for yourself.
