Why do we like this?

Perhaps you noticed that the internet went a little crazy yesterday when The xx's entire new album Coexist leaked in full. I'm not going to condone sharing any links...but it's out there.

Instead, I'm going to flash back to a much older song, "Shelter." Released on the band's debut 2009 album, the track has been subject to numerous remixes and covers. It's also notable because it was the only track on the album without former member Baria Qureshi.

And it's still a damned good track, even in light of an entire new album.
