The xx are working on a new album, Romy confirms
"We’re excited to move it on and keep it feeling fresh," she said
The xx are working on a new album, according to founding member Romy Madley Croft.
The London trio - who comprise Romy, Jamie xx and Oliver Sim - haven’t released a full-length album since their acclaimed 2017 LP, ‘I See You’. Now, according to a new report by the NME, the band are back in the studio working on their fourth album.
On being asked about being back working with her bandmates, Romy said: “Yeah it’s fun, it’s quite different being in the studio with The xx.”
“I think Oliver [Sim] and Jamie [xx] and I have all tried new things and learned a lot from different projects and I think that’s quite healthy to be like, ‘What have you learned? What should we do now?’ And I think it’s quite wide open and it’s exciting to be starting again in a way. But we’ve started making some music and I’m really excited about it.”
Reflecting on the sound of the upcoming album, Romy added: “It’s still pretty early [but] I still think you’ll be able to tell it’s us but I think we’re excited to move it on and keep it feeling fresh.”
Romy gave the update during an interview at Beyond The Valley festival in Australia.
Romy also recently shared the video for ‘She’s On My Mind’. Co-produced by Fred again.., Stuart Price and Avalon Emerson, the track is taken from Romy’s debut solo LP, 'Mid-Air,' which was co-produced by Jamie xx.
In 2022, Jamie xx shared his first music in two years, ‘LET’S DO IT AGAIN’.
