The xx have announced details of their third album, which will be titled ‘I See You’, as well as sharing new song ‘On Hold’.

10 songs in total, the record will be released on January 13, 2017 via Young Turks. It’s previous albums, ‘xx’ and ‘Coexist’.

‘I See You’ was recorded between March 2014 and August 2016 in New York, Texas, Reykjavik, Los Angeles and London and produced by the band’s Jamie Smith, plus Rodaidh McDonald.


It has been described as “more outward-looking, open and expansive”.

The band have preceded the album with new track ‘On Hold’. Listen below.

The xx’s Romy spoke to Beats 1 about releasing new single ‘On Hold’, saying: “I’m really excited, nervous and excited… I’ve listened to it a lot of times thinking, how can I change it, how can it be different, is this right, is this good. To finally just hear it and let go of it, and for it just be in everyone else’s hands, I can’t wait.” The full interview will broadcast tonight at 8pm GMT.
