I really like 'Angels' and 'Chained', the rest really still has to grow on me.

Bonus track! Available on iTunes I think...

It's so pretty. :mellow:

 

 

Anyone know if there's going to be a deluxe version of Coexist?

perfect tune to smoke the last cigarette of a day whilst sitting at the windowsill looking into the dark night and perfect to calm down before going to get some rest!

 

i have no clue about a deluxe version.

So Coexist is out in stores here in Singapore. Though it says it's an US import (is it out in the States already?) and costs $25.

 

Sorry, I think I'll wait for the proper release - would be cheaper. Lol.

So Reconsider, I found out, is an iTunes bonus track.

 

Tried looking for info on the deluxe edition and I found [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Coexist-LP-CD-Deluxe-VINYL/dp/B008L5FFKQ/ref=sr_tr_2?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1342449266&sr=1-2]this[/ame].

 

No track listing which sucks.

There is a tracklisting indeed! :)

Scroll down! :wacky:

Contains 11 songs. :shrug:

Ah thanks!

 

Now I'm even more confused. Lol. Maybe it's called a deluxe edition because the vinyl includes a CD?

The xx to Collaborate With BBC Orchestra

 

On September 19, the xx will collaborate with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra for a performance, the BBC reports. They'll play new arrangements of tracks from 2010's The xx and their upcoming record Coexist, as well as new, specially commissioned work. The band will work with composer Alex Baranowski, who previously worked with Underworld on music for Danny Boyle's theater production of Frankenstein.

 

The free concert will take place on the water, in the seaside resort of Bridlington in East Yorkshire, England as part of this fall's BBC Philharmonic Presents... series. It will be broadcast live on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 program.

 

 

I think this will sound bloody amazing. Hope the performance will end up on Youtube somewhere.

Listen to the xx Live in Concert With the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra

^I don't think it's lame, i think it works perfectly with the atmosphere of the song.

I saw them live two nights ago and I want to go back forever. It was absolutely perfect, and I am going to marry Romy. For sure.

bump!

 

Just had to post this :heart:

I think it's hilarious that they chose that song to cover! Lol.

 

But it works!!

Just found out they are coming to S'pore. It's my absolute dream to see them live and I cannot believe it's happening.

 

I'm shaking. Literally shaking.

^ That is awesome, congratulations! :)

 

Gonna see them myself on May 20th, can't wait!

Band to release new song on the Great Gatsby soundtrack! Can't wait. :D

What do we think of their new song?

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoj2I6ZJLx8]The xx - Together - YouTube[/ame]

Idk what to think about it

 

It ain't bad, but I grew so tired of their sound :\

 

Reminds me of Foals a bit

An okay song except for those strings in the end :blank: I'm in love with Romy and Oliver and their togetherness and I could listen to them if they put out ten other albums like Coexist, but I wouldn't value them at all like I do 'xx'. Hopefully they'll find themselves in a different sound with next album.

I honestly hope they stop making music sometime soon :uhoh:

Their sound is so predictable and boring. I hated Coexist.

 

plus Jamie XX is capable of sooo much more

They are alright but I've never been in the mood to listen to them. Ever.

Their first album was so good, but coexist was boring, this is an ok song. I like their sound if they write interesting songs, I guess they need to evolve a bit maybe louder guitars or any guitars.
