General Interest Coexist MusicSecond studio album from critically acclaimed London band The xx, featuring the song "Angels". Review Subtlety comes in several shades, sometimes so slight as to be near imperceptible. The xx, Mercury winners with their 2009 debut and unlikely global stars since, were never going to overhaul their sound for album two but spend a while in Coexists company and the London trios evolution is evident. On a first spin, little might appear to have changed. Angels opens, starring Romy Madley Crofts delicate voice set against a guitar that chimes its presence with an unhurried effortlessness. So far, so very debut-over-again. But Coexist isnt a straight continuation from the past The xx broke from the routine of promotion, of filling headspaces with thoughts of what happens next, to rediscover lives outside of the band. Upon reconvening, fresh ideas formed, and many have found a place on Coexist. Lyrically its a love album, from the first flushes of affection to the trauma of separation. This constant allows the music to spin out into new shapes. Try opens with a strangled synth whine, immediately reminiscent of G-funk Reunion is carried on steel pans, lending it a Caribbean feel and Swept Away rides a classic house beat with the pitch slowed so very yes, subtly. The latter track, Coexists penultimate number, is sure to stir thoughts of Todd Terrys remixes for Everything but the Girlserendipitous given Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt have previously covered The xxs Night Time. Its a standout, as is Fiction, Oliver Sims first true solo vocal after the ethereal drift of the debuts interlude-y Fantasy. If the production at the heart of The xx has progressed at glacier-like pace, Sims contributions have taken giant leaps forward. Confidence gleaned from hundreds of live performances between albums can be heard on every take. Jamie Smiths nudging upwards of the BPM represents advancement, too. Some may miss the (more) minimalist design of xx, but Coexist isnt without hold-your-breath dynamics: a break to silence in Missing is followed by a tremendous return by Sim. Its an electrifying moment. With a signature sound established at the first time of asking, The xxs challenge was to both expand their palette and satisfy the demands of a huge audience. And through refinement rather than reinvention, theyve succeeded in singular style. --Mike Diver This link will take you offin a new window Shipping Shipping is free for all customers in Australia.
