Watch: The xx’s Gorgeous Underwater Video For ‘Chained’

October 16, 2012

The xx have returned with an aquatically immersive, slo-mo overload new video for “Chained,” off their beautiful new album Coexist.

“Here is our new video for Chained! Directed by Young Replicant, who were a pleasure to work with,” the band said in a release. “Spending two days underwater wasn’t quite as easy as we thought. We love how it turned out, hope you enjoy too, xx The xx.”

The track is the second single (and among the strongest songs overall) from Coexist, which topped the charts in September this year.

Coexist is out now on Young Turks.
