XXXX (album)


XXXX is the third full-length album by Canadian dance-punk band You Say Party, released September 29, 2009. It was the last release featuring the band's original longer name and the last album with drummer Devon Clifford.
In addition to the album's title, the construction "XXXX" also appears in several of the album's song titles. In every such song, the four Xs represents the word "love". In an interview with CBC Radio 3, the band's vocalist Becky Ninkovic explained that when finalizing the cover art for the band's first EP Dansk Wad, she had wanted to leave a personal "mark of love" on it, and settled on signing it with four small Xs.
The album was a longlisted nominee for the 2010 Polaris Music Prize.
