   In the years between their debut and Coexist, the xx's sound took on a life of its own, thanks in large part to Drake's hit duet with Rihanna, "Take Care," which sampled Jamie Smith's collaboration with Gil Scott Heron, We're New bobscompthekusineticconfransrolltorre.co single embodied and popularized the xx's aesthetic to such a degree that on first listen, Coexist can sound like demos for a potential follow-up.

   Aug 07,  · Coexist saw The xx reduce their sound to the bare essentials, and on an album full of minimal tracks, this one is the most minimal of all. This song barely even has a melody, just the band’s.

   So, the long awaited second album from London’s young vanguards The xx finally drops, and the world no doubt lies in wait desperate to pick holes in it. It would have been easy for them to have emerged from the dark with ten tracks repeating the same formula that had them fashioned into hip patches on Rihanna and Drake’s back catalogue (among others), but maybe it was too easy for a band.
