Will 2016 be the year that The xx finally release their third album and return to tour? Well, we can only hope so - as the 'Angels', 'Intro' and 'Coexist' stars have just revealed that they're back in the studio and hard at work. 

Last month, Jamie xx revealed that they were hoping to drop the album next year - saying: "We start again in the studio tomorrow up until Christmas. It's going well and we're just enjoying it. We've been doing it for so long now. I'm really looking forward to wrapping that up as well."

Now, the band have just shared this photo from the studio:

Throughout the year and prior to Jamie xx's Mercury-nominated solo album campaign, the band spent time recording their third record in Texas, Iceland, London - telling fans: "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."
