QUALITY
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that that Coexist is a generally clean album, containing no graphic language or allusions to sex, substances, or violence. While the subject matter can be a bit melancholy and brooding at times ("I saw you again, it felt like we had never met / It's like the sun set in your eyes and never wanted to rise"), the record is an OK pick for older tweens and teens.
What's the story?
"COEXIST" is the second full-length record from British indie pop band The xx. Consisting of a girl and two guys, the trio's music gained traction after being sampled by Rihanna in her song "Talk That Talk."
Is it any good?
The slow, melancholy sound of Coexist fits its heavy lyrical mood. With vocal duties split between female singer Romy Croft and the two guys in the band, the tracks have a quality that's at once sad and lovely.

Wish I had discovered them sooner :)
I discovered The Xx a few weeks ago and they are quickly becoming one of my new favorite bands. Their music is so calming and sounds amazing! There is nothing in either of their albums that could be seen as objectionable to kids, though they might find it too slow or not understand the music. This is better suited toward tweens and teens that might have started dating or at least liking the opposite gender, as their music is mostly about heartbreak and relationships. I thoroughly reccomend checking this album out! (and their other album, called Xx)
