​The xx Tease New Music with Mysterious Snippet

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Nov 7, 2016

The xx last delivered a full-length album with Coexist in 2012, but it seems like the UK three-piece are finally ready to share what they've been up to lately.
 
The band shared a Facebook post last month revealing that work has begun on their third studio album, and telling fans "it feels so good to be together making new music."
 
Now, some of that new music has made its way to Spotify in the form of a mysterious, unnamed track. It arrives via Young Turks — the label that put out the group's self-titled debut and Coexist — and follows another recent and equally mysterious snippet of new music that popped up on a recent playlist.
 
The sonic snippet is basically a minute of gloomy, droning guitar sounds, but it's a promising step towards delivering a new album to desperate fans.
 
As we await further details of the upcoming LP, check out the mysterious song below.
