The xx: Coexist (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP

Description

10th anniversary edition! The xx and Young celebrate a decade of Coexist with this limited edition clear vinyl pressing. Original Lab review:

The highly anticipated sophomore album from The xx is here! Coexist follows up their critically-acclaimed 2009 debut, and finds the London-based trio refining their sound, with Jamie xx handling all production and Romy-Madley Croft and Oliver Sim on guitar and vocal duties. Though they’ve blown up considerably since their debut (especially Jamie as a solo electronic artist), the formula here remains the same – powerful and touching songs about love and loneliness, with delicate guitar work and minimalist arrangements. Jamie’s solo work can be heard influencing tracks like “Chained,” “Sunset,” and “Swept Away” that feature a more prominent and thumping rhythm track, but for the most part it’s a very restrained piece of work that tugs at the heartstrings. Vinyl version comes packaged in die-cut sleeve with iridescent inner sleeve. Recommended.
