The xx post album update message to fans

The xx have posted a message to fans, providing a progress report on their forthcoming third LP.

A follow-up to 2012’s ‘Coexist’ is anticipated for summer 2015. Sessions for the record have taken place in several cities, but this is the first official update given by the London trio on their new record.

Elsewhere this year, Jamie xx released singles ‘Girl’, ‘Sleep Sound’ and the 2014 standout ‘All Under One Roof Raving’.

The xx’s message in full reads:

“Hello,

It’s been a while, we hope everything is wonderful with you.

This year has been a creative one for us so far, we have been hard at work writing and recording new music in a few different places around the world.

In the spring we spent a few weeks in the incredible and unique town of Marfa in Texas. Then, in Summer we spent some time just outside of Reykavik in Iceland. This Autumn we have been back in London, writing and having some time at home but this week we are heading out to Los Angeles to continue the writing and recording process.

Although all very different, each of these places have been inspirational environments to create music in, and each will have an influence on the new album. The whole process is a big adventure and we can’t wait for a time when we’ll be able to share the music with you.

Lots of love until then.

xx The xx”
