In “Reconsider,” an excellent bonus iTunes track off The xx‘s Coexist, a simple but luring and curling guitar line rings out, rearing its head to break the otherwise hushed ambiance. The ghostly effects amidst spans of silence, dueling male/female vocals, and a heavy, unceasing feeling of yearning make this an especially haunting and moving song.
Make sure to revisit our coverage of other tracks, such as “Chained,” “Sunset” and “Angels.” Coexist officially comes out Tuesday, September 11th on Young Turks, but you can stream it in its entirety via NPR here.
