Proving that they were not actually attempting to lock themselves in an amber of 2009, British sparse-poppers The xx are coming out with a new record. This new record is called Coexist and will be out September 11 through Young Turks. Due to the venn diagram of “Hyped Young Producer” and “Member of The xx” overlapping, the new album will be produced by The xx’s very own Jamie Smith. Or as some people tend to call him, Jamie xx.
Now that you’ve read that first paragraph, you’ve clearly noticed a mistake. Do you see it yet? Give it a bit.
That’s right, a band named The xx is putting out a new record called Coexist and totally resisted calling it Coexxist. This is the biggest missed opportunity since skate-punks No Use For a Name never put out an untitled record. Please, The xx, hire me to be, I don’t know, your advisor so you won’t make these mistakes again. I understand if you can’t get back to me until after summer, I know that you are playing a lot of dates basically everywhere. Those dates are at the bottom of this article. At this point in the paragraph, I am no longer directly talking to The xx.
