Coexist (album)

Coexist is the second studio album by English indie pop band the xx. After a break from touring for their 2009 debut album xx, the band members began to write songs individually before they recorded Coexist from November 2011 to May 2012. For the album, the xx drew on personal experiences for their songwriting, while their music was influenced by the electronic dance scene that occurred when they had been away on tour. The album was produced by the band's Jamie xx, who had pursued electronic dance on other projects and developed as a DJ prior to the album.
