In a message to fans, The xx have confirmed what Jamie Smith suggested in October – that they have been back in London this autumn working on new material.
Jamie xx gave his brief update whilst walking Fader through his own solo plans, and a more thorough breakdown of what the band have been up to during 2014 has now been issued as they look to follow-up 2012’s ‘Coexist‘.
“This year has been a creative one for us so far, we have been hard at work writing and recording new music in a few different places around the world,” the message explains.
“In the spring we spent a few weeks in the incredible and unique town of Marfa in Texas. Then, in Summer we spent some time just outside of Reykavik in Iceland. This Autumn we have been back in London, writing and having some time at home but this week we are heading out to Los Angeles to continue the writing and recording process.”
