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.

Six years later, their band was nominated for the 2010 Mercury Prize. They were up against Paul...
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...
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...

Islands
I don’t have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spent my nights and days before
Searching the world for what’s right here
Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here I saw
Something I couldn’t over look
I am yours now
So now I don’t ever have to leave
I’ve been found out
So now I’ll never explore
See what I’ve done
That bridge is on fire
Go back to where I’ve been
I’m froze by desire
No need to leave
Where...
