Jamie xx - In waves (New album)

New Jamie xx album releasing September 20th!

Pre-order:  In Waves | Jamie xx (bandcamp.com)

The long-awaited new album by Jamie xx In Waves is the next chapter in the career of one of the most in demand producers of his generation.
With In Waves, Jamie replicates the emotional crescendos and thrilling volatility of an almost mystical night out– one where you return home in the cigarette ash dawn, the specifics of the last eight hours already blurring, but aware that these feelings will remain a crystalline memory.

In Waves is a melancholy paradise of bliss, heartbreak, and introspection. The story of a journey where you merge into the divine pulse of shadows, light, and dance floor rhythms.A strobe light epiphany about the illimitable possibilities and spiritual capacities of humanity.

Nine years after his debut solo masterpiece, In Colour the London producer has not only eclipsed the heights of its predecessor, he’s somehow made all supernatural adjectives and analogies seem understated.

Hell yea!! Can't wait, but it looks like we'll have to with the Sept. 20 release date...I don't care for these drawn out releases. It's over 3 months away! Really likin' Treat Each Other Right

that video sucks ass

blegh

Disappointing stuff. An excess of annoying vocal samples. Waited all night, Still summer and Life are decent tracks. Breather could be a banger but for some reason he chose to put a motivational speech on top. 

really cringe stuff 

Oh My Gosh 

Well I like it just fine.

It's Giving Me Life...

thought i would give it a spin and check out the latest poptronica. really quite terrible. the sampling is bad. 

Absolutely love Falling Together, scratches some trance itches of my younger raver days. Totally get why this might not be everyone’s bag. I like it, I think he’s a sensational DJ

Don't love most of it. Baddy on the Floor scratches a Wagon Christ itch though.

It's growing on me, the tracks are admittedly pretty catchy. I bought it anyway because the CD packaging is no nicely consistent with In Colour's. Speaking of IN Colour, that is still by far the better album out of the two but I can't say that I'm not enjoying this new one after all.

just gave it a listen and im in the middle

i think theres some tracks that are great like Baddy, Breather & the closer but the rest is either only pretty good with percussion that sounds way too plastic for my tastes or kinda annoying (Treat Each Other Right and hell maybe even All You Children)

i think the biggest highlight of this album for me were the synths. def hope he decides to make a beatless record some day
