The xx promised they'd be working on the follow-up to 2012's Coexist in the run-up to Christmas, and looks like they've been good to their word.
A photo posted on Facebook today shows the band hunkering down and putting in the hard yards on what will be their third full-length effort.

While there's obviously some while to go, they previously indicated that new music should arrive in 2016. The wait has made it eagerly awaited enough, but with Jamie xx's solo efforts winning almost universal admiration this year, fans are counting the days until the next band project hits the shelves.
