   In the end, Coexist is a love letter, simple, honest and beautiful. "Missing", the album's finest track, you hear Oliver more passionate that ever, the emotion in his voice is truly captivating.… Collapse

   While their debut had a bit of magic, with an original sound and production to go along with some great songs, it was far from perfect with several moments that dragged a little. Coexist has the same (and now familiar) XX sound so loses the surprise factor, however the songwriting in my opinion has improved from their debut. The songs take a bit longer to get to know but have a bit more depth and more emotional layers to them. On first listen you might think they've churned out more of the same but while it does have a similar vibe, I do feel Coexist is a more substantial record that builds on rather than imitates its predecessor.… Expand
