With the follow up to xx, Coexist coming in September, new single ‘Angels’ is our first glimpse of what’s to come from the London indie band. So far, things look promising. Built around a simple, haunting guitar melody, ‘Angels’ is austere trip-hop, with a gorgeous, intimate vocal, boxy drums and otherwise sparse instrumentation. Poised and understated. Nicely done.
8 out of 10
Update: Check out the follow up single, ‘Chained’.
The xx will be touring Australia this month.
