Ubercool band The XX is teaming up with Urban Outfitters, but not on a fashion collab. The band and the brand will partner on a zine called And We'll Be Us, featuring photos taken and articles written by band members. We can only hope this means that the next step is a clothing line like the one Urban did with Best Coast frontwoman Bethany Cosentino. In the meantime, we'll be listening to "Islands" on repeat.
