As The xx continue to prepare their upcoming new album, the trio has quietly shared a clip of an untitled song.

The brief snippet, with just a hyphen in place of the song title and artist, surfaced Wednesday on the band's "in the studio" playlist on Spotify, which they had shared with fans last month along with news they are playing a few live shows in November.

As we reportedly exclusively last month, The xx has spent much of the past few months in the studio and has been aiming to have new music out "before the holidays," according to a source involved.

While the band has not made a formal announcement about the untitled clip, it is curiously copyrighted by Young Turks, The xx's label.
