The xx have described the sound of their forthcoming second album Coexist as "adventurous".

The trio, who won the 2010 Mercury Prize for their self-titled debut album, said the process of recording the follow-up had been "pretty relaxed".

Oliver Sim from the band told Radio 1's Zane Lowe "it was easy to do what we wanted".
The first single from the new album, Angels, is now out.

The xx - Oliver Sim, Romy Madley Croft, Jamie Smith Two of them met because their parents were friends. They were only two years old at the time. Maybe three. At that age, your parents choose your friends for you. The boy and girl went to nursery school together, then primary school, then college. When they were 15, they formed a band.

Oliver Sim Six years later, their band was nominated for the 2010 Mercury Prize. They were up against Paul Weller, Dizzee Rascal, Mumford & Sons and Laura Marling. They won. That was surreal. One of their songs, Intro, was sampled by Rihanna for Drunk on Love. That was even more surreal. The same song was used by the BBC during coverage of the British general election.
 They found that to be the most surreal of all. Throughout all this, they toured the world together, living in each other's pockets, but their friendship remained strong.
''I don't remember life before her,'' the boy says, uttering a line that could be a lyric from one of their songs.

 Angels

Light reflects from your shadow
It is more than I thought could exist
You move through the room
Like breathing was easy
If someone believed me
They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
In love, love, love
And everyday
I am learning about you
The things that no one else sees
And the end comes too soon
Like dreaming of angels
And leaving without them
And leaving without them
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love, love, love
And with words unspoken
A silent devotion
I know you know what I mean
And the end is unknown
But I think I’m ready
As long as you’re with me
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love, love, love

Chained

I watched you breathe in
And I wished you’d stop
Only for long enough
Long enough
It’s
Hard
To
Say
Separate or combine
I ask you
One last time
Did I hold you too tight
Did I not let enough light in
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh
If a feeling appears
If your mind should sway
It’s not a secret you should keep
I won’t let you slip away
We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you miss
We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you miss
Winged or chained
I ask you
Would you have stayed
Did I hold you too tight
Did I not let enough light in
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh

 "Hot Like Fire" –  The xx - Bonus track"
 _____________________________________________
 You're hotter than summer day, in California.
Ya got me meltin like a sundae, and I want ya.
I know you've been waitin' you've been waitin' a long time for me.
But if you wait a little while longer this is how it'll be.

Oh it's gonna be, hot like fire.
I'm gonna take you, take you higher.
You can't resist,
Kiss, kiss, and kiss and kiss and kiss.

You shouldn't have said \"take our time\".
I'll let you know when I'm ready (if that's alright)
I won't keep you, I won't keep you, I won't keep you holdin' on.
But if you wait on me, I promise you it won't be long.

Oh it's gonna be, hot like fire.
I'm gonna take you, take you higher.
You can't resist,
Kiss, kiss, and kiss and kiss and kiss

 "Teardrops" – The xx - Bonus track
 _____________________________________________
 Whenever I hear goodbyes, reminds me baby of you
I break down and cry, next time I'll be true, yeah
Fever for lost romance reminds me baby of you
And I took a crazy chance
Next time I'll be true,
I'll be true, I'll be true, I'll be true

Footsteps on the dance floor reminds me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time I'll be true, yeah
Whispers in the powder room
"She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune"

And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did with you

When I'm dancin' 'round, reminds me baby of you
And I really let you down, next time I'll be true
I'll be true, I'll be true, I'll be true

Footsteps on the dance floor
reminds me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes, next time I'll be true, yeah
Whispers in the powder room
"She cries on every tune, every tune, every tune"

And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did with you

 "Insects" - The xx - Bonus track
_____________________________________________ 
 Those eyes
Those eyes
Those eyes
Those eyes were sharp like sharpest knife.

When I see you and I'm going away
You hold me captive with the things that you do
And say when I see you and I'm going away
You hold me captive with the things that you do
And say

Those eyes
Those eyes
Those eyes
Those eyes were sharp like sharpest knife.

When I see you and I'm going away
You hold me captive with the things that you do
And say when I see you and I'm going away
You hold me captive with the things that you do
And say

And I feel
And I feel
And I feel
Like an insect
(and I feel)
You make me feel (and I feel)
You make me feel (and I feel)
Like an insect

Lost in your web
Caught in your trap
Like an insect
