The xx ‘Coexist’ Is Out Today – Friday 7th September

We’re so excited after the months of anticipation that The xx ‘s new album ‘Coexist’ is finally out. It’s been a long 3 year wait since their debut album ‘xx’ in 2009 blew music lovers heads off with their amazing sounds, and now we’re ready for more.

‘Coexist’ was produced by The xx’s Jamie Smith and was recorded between November 2011 and May 2012 in the band’s own studio in London.

The xx achieved gold sales in Australia, platinum sales in the UK, and accumulated over 1.3 million sales worldwide. The album has also been awarded the highly prestigious Mercury Music Prize, The Guardian’s First Album Award, Album of the Year by both Rough Trade Shops and XFM, and two South Bank and one NME Award nominations.

The xx – Oliver Sim, Romy Madley Croft and Jamie Smith (Jamie xx) – formed in 2005 at London’s Elliot School, the alma mater of notable alumni Hot Chip, Burial and Four Tet. Bonding over a shared love of dark, emotive 80s guitar sounds and the high-end sheen of American R&B, The xx’s unique sound befits a band whose wide range of influences combine beautiful, hushed vocal duets and a brilliantly inventive use of samples and low-end frequencies to produce stark, sweet, melancholic pop.

1. Angels
2. Chained
3. Fiction
4. Try
5. Reunion
6. Sunset
7. Missing
8. Tides
9. Unfold
