“Coexist, if you let it, is one of those rare albums that seems capable of doing exactly that: burying itself deep within the heart, and remaining an important passenger for a long time to come.” - The Vine
“The xx lay out all of their pieces beautifully. There are no extraneous parts. Not a second that they didn’t intend… 10/10” – Drowned In Sound
“Delicately crafted so that every softly ringing note, and every aching second of dead air, hits like a cymbal crash.” – NPR
“Neither spectacular or deflating, Coexist is simply the sound of the xx, more or less just as we left it: minimalist, intuitive, romantic and enchanting” – Fact Magazine
“With a cool ‘90s trip-hop club beat littered throughout, Coexist takes The xx’s signature melancholic, minimal pop sound and spins it a little darker.” – Harpers Bazaar
Coexist, the second album from London trio The xx, is out today via Young Turks / Remote Control.
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.
Coexist is the follow-up release to The xx's debut album xx. Released in August 2009, 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.
