XX ANGELS BY STEREOGUM

The xx’s long-awaited sophomore album Coexist arrives in fall, and now we finally get to hear a song from it. “Angels,” the album’s opener and first single, is a spindly, delicately romantic song that recaptures the spare, insinuating sensuality of the band’s first album. On first listen, it promises some very good things.

That image above is the album’s cover art, and they’ve also unveiled the album’s tracklist and announced a bunch of North American shows. Listen to “Angels” and check out the tracklist and the tour dates below.
