The xx announce first tour dates in three years and an album in the works

"It feels so good to be together making new music"

The xx trio are finally making moves - both out on tour and in the studio - after a long, baited wait.

The trio's first shows in three years have been announced, with stops set across Poland, Croatia and the Czech Republic, Japan and South America stops in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Colombia.

Though much of Europe and North America remains absent from their freshly announced tour dates, it likely won't be too long of a wait since the band also shared news that they are back at work in the studio for their third album and follow-up to 2012's 'Coexist'.

"We are in the studio working on our third album, it feels so good to be together making new music," the post reads, before linking to a playlist of music they've been listening to while in the studio.

The diverse playlists includes tunes from Alicia Keys, Radiohead, Frank Ocean, Solange, Drake and more.
