After taking all of 2011 off, Mercury Prize winning trio the xx are making their big return to the stage in less than a fortnight. The band––which has been working on a follow-up to 2009′s XX for a while now––has announced several European shows (mostly festivals). Is it safe to assume a brand new xx album is coming this summer?
