The xx have made their new album Coexist available to listen online ahead of its release next week (10 September, 2012).
The band are streaming their second album in full through website NPR.org. Click here to listen.
The album follows the band's self titled debut album, which won the London trio the Mercury Music Prize in 2010.
The band perform this weekend at Bestival - their only 2012 festival date, as they join the likes of Florence + The Machine, Stevie Wonder, New Order and Sigur Ros on the Isle of Wight line-up.
The xx's Oliver Sim previously revealed that the lyrics to Coexist had caused concern with his mother after she became worred at the bleak tone heard on the new album.
"My mum reads the lyrics and asks if she should be worried," he told Q magazine. "Please, no one worry about me, I'm happy! I just connect with the sadder songs, my favourite songs are devastating."
The xx perform a string of small shows in London, Cardiff and Edinburgh this month. Tickets are on sale now. For more information, visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
