The XX are a famed UK-based ambient pop group. Their debut album was a massive success, as well as their sophomore debut "Coexist". This new album, though not yet officially announced, follows a series of Spotify playlist teasers titled "-" by a band of the same character. If it comes out, it will be the band's third album following "Coexist". Recently, a Reddit sleuth uncovered the album from Shazam along with a full tracklist. The XX have a show scheduled with Annie Mac on BBC 1 where they may announce the new album. Though we don't have a release date yet, the album release is imminent and will most likely be released through Young Turks.
Leaking album titles and track lists, even covers, from Shazam is so 2016 ;)
True, Reddit detectives are the ones to thank.
sorry for capitalizing “xx” in The xx on this album post
Can’t say I love “On Hold”. But let’s wait and see.
yeah, they’ve moved away a bit from the minimalist sound that i liked so much (not only on “on hold”, but with “i dare you” as well). but let’s wait and see indeed.
I actually really like “On Hold”. I think their strict adherence to minimalism is why coexist fell so flat for me. The dance-soul influence (Jamie’s solo work seems to be seeping in) is a welcome change-up for me.
Great to relax!Still waithing for the rest of the album!
At first i found myself disappointed with On Hold but with more and more plays, i now think is wonderful and melancholic!
