The xx Coexist is the second album from the south London trio, released on Young Turks (catalog YT 80), and it marks a clear, deliberate step forward from one of the more quietly striking debut records of the last decade or so.
Who The xx Are and Why This Record Exists
When The xx released their debut in 2009, Romy Madley Croft, Oliver Sim and Jamie Smith had been working on it quietly, largely at night, over the course of two years. That record built its reputation slowly and on its own terms. It became a reference point for a particular kind of intimacy in pop music. Restrained, ambiguous, privacy-forward in an era when oversharing had become the norm. It articulated something about teenage desire and anxiety with a maturity that felt earned rather than performed. By the time the world had fully absorbed it, the three of them had already moved on and grown up. Coexist is the result of that.
What The xx Coexist Sounds Like as a Record
Where the debut leaned in close, almost whispering, Coexist opens up slightly. It gazes rather than murmurs. The emotional register has shifted. These are not teenagers processing the world from the inside of a bedroom anymore. The same instincts for space and understatement are present, but the perspective has widened and warmed. The xx were never a band who filled silence for the sake of it, and that discipline carries through here. What has changed is the emotional vantage point. There is more steadiness to it, more room to breathe without quite as much tension underneath.
Pressing Details and Format
This is the LP pressing on Young Turks, catalog number YT 80. Young Turks handled the original release of both xx records and this pressing carries that same considered approach to presentation the label brought to the debut. The copy includes an MP3 download coupon, so you have a digital version ready alongside the record. For collectors, a Young Turks pressing of this album is the correct and original version of the record. It is the way this album was intended to be released and heard. If you came to The xx through the debut and have been sitting with that record for a while, this LP gives you the next chapter in proper physical form, on the label that has been with them from the beginning.
