The past four weeks have been especially ripe with xx hype. For those out of the loop, the subtle-pop trio just released a busy new track in preparation for a new album and a series of spread-out tour dates. Thanks to NME, we’ve learned that the band has mailed tickets to fans, which invite the recipient “(and a friend)” to a gig that has not been officially announced yet. The dates we’ve seen are located in England and Germany and sit between a run of eastern Europe, Japan, and South America.
