Coexist

The world adored the xx's Mercury Prize-winning debut album xx. Coexist is, if anything, an even finer piece of work.

The xx lay out all of their pieces beautifully. There are no extraneous parts. Not a second that they didn’t intend.

Coexist presents a version of The xx that listeners will recognize, but cleans everything up a bit, subtly stretching and improving the formula that won acclaim.
