Jamie xx has announced his new album, In Waves, out September 20th via Young. In anticipation, he’s released the latest single, “Treat Each Other Right,” and its accompanying music video.
Recorded over four years, Jamie xx’s sophomore album features appearances from Robyn, The Avalanches, Panda Bear, Kelsey Lu, John Glacier, Oona Doherty, and fellow The xx members Romy and Oliver Sim. In addition, DJ/producer Honey Dijon contributed to the previously released single “Baddy on the Floor.”
In Waves will be available as a deluxe LP featuring a bonus 12-inch that includes previously released singles “It’s So Good,” “LET’S DO IT AGAIN” and “KILL DEM” alongside the new Erykah Badu collab “F U” and “Do Something.” Pre-orders for all formats are ongoing.
“It’s been a while… and a lot has happened in that time,” Jamie xx shared in a statement. “Ups and downs, growing up, figuring stuff out and then forgetting it all many times over. Life changing events and world changing events. These waves that we have all experienced together and alone.”
He continued, “I wanted to make something fun, joyful and introspective all at once. The best moments on a dance floor are usually that for me.”
“Treat Each Other Right” — a staple of Jamie xx’s DJ sets over the past few years — fits that bill. With soulful vocals and an irresistible breakbeat, the track is sure to soundtrack parties all summer. Watch the Rosie Marks-directed video below.
Jamie xx will celebrate the release of In Waves with a hometown show at London’s Alexandra Palace on September 26th. Fans can access tickets immediately by pre-ordering the album ahead of the general on-sale scheduled for Friday, June 7th via Ticketmaster. You can also look for deals at viagogo once tickets go on sale.
