The xx to release new album 'Coexist' in September

The xx have confirmed that they will release their second album 'Coexist' in September.

The London trio made their return to the music scene with three low-key gigs in the capital earlier this year. The three shows saw the band testing out material from 'Coexist' with fans reporting of a more 'club-orientated' vibe on the tracks.

Speaking to NME about their new songs, Romy Madely-Croft said: "I've been thinking that I hope people enjoy it as a separate thing. The first album exists – we're not trying to make it again."

Adding: "We've just grown up, and although this isn't a 'grown up' album, we’ve evolved. It's just us growing a bit more. I hope people enjoy it as a continuation, rather than us trying to make the first album again."

'Coexist' is to be released on September 10th.
