In the last three years, the group has been working on the follow-up to 2012’s Coexist. In 2015, Jamie xx released a solo album called In Colour that featured his bandmates Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim. Romy talked about the band’s origins during a recent conversation with Savage’s Jehnny Beth.
