The London trio last released an album in 2012, when they put out their second LP 'Coexist'. Since then Jamie xx has been busy with his debut solo album, 'In Colour', which came out last year and received multiple award nominations, including the Mercury Prize.
In a Facebook post early last month the band revealed that they were in the studio working on their third album and shared a playlist of tracks they had been listening to while there. Last night a short instrumental appeared on that it that sounded an awful lot like the xx. Though it is unnamed and not attributed to the band, it is marked as a Young Turks recording, the same label as the band's.
