The xx recently played the Guggenheim. Sure, you might not have been one of the famous few to attend (the event was a Dior-sponsored pre-party for the museum’s International Gala), but thanks to the powers of the internet and a few fans in attendance, you can watch the band play “Islands,” “Crystalised,” and “Angels.”

And there’s also a new album on the way. Says the band via their official newsletter:

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.
