In January this year, The xx confirmed that they were working on new music.
In an Instagram post reflecting on 2019, The xx gave fans an idea of what to look forward to in the coming year, revealing new tunes have been on their minds. “We’ve all been working on new music, can’t wait to share it with you!” they wrote.
Back in August, bassist and vocalist Oliver Sim gave an update about their forthcoming music to BBC Radio 6 Music noting they’ve been making new music independently “as if we’re making our own records.”
“I’ve done a lot of work with Romy [Madley Croft, guitarist and vocalist] in the last couple of weeks,” Sim explained. “I’ve done a lot of work with Jamie [xx, producer], but we haven’t had that moment yet of all three of us being in the room together.”
