This is set to be a huge year for The xx; Romy told us at the BRITs last year that the band had been in the studio “regularly”, implying new music was coming soon.
“We’ve been in the studio since I last spoke to NME and we’re in the studio again next week, so we’re meeting up regularly,” she told us. “It’s been really good. I think we’ve all spent time apart and it’s healthy to miss each other.”
She added: “We’re just keeping it really open and we’re up for trying new things, but it sounds like us. That’s all I can say right now.
“We’ve learned a lot from our different solo projects and it’s cool to learn from each other again. We grew up together and we had a lot of experiences, but to then have time apart and learn new skills, get new musical ideas and experiences and compare them… it’s been a healthy break.”
Elsewhere, Massive Attack have corrected the “outright lies” of reports on facial recognition at their live shows.
