on new single
‘DAFODIL’
Today Jamie xx releases ‘Dafodil‘, the fourth song to be revealed from his hotly-anticipated second album In Waves, released 20th September via Young / Remote Control Records. Situated heart-like in the album’s centre, ‘Dafodil‘ is a swirling summer symphony that conjures the intense feelings of euphoria experienced on a dance floor. The single arrives as Jamie’s In Waves Australia tour adds two more dates to the run of sold out shows. The new shows will be held at PICA in Melbourne on Wednesday 4 December and Carriageworks in Sydney on Monday 9 December. Tickets go on sale 10am AEST.
A collaborative masterclass featuring Kelsey Lu, Panda Bear and John Glacier, ‘Dafodil‘ has been the subject of endless fan ID-ing over the last few years, while the song was recently performed live by John Glacier as part of Jamie’s recent The Floor residency in London.
Speaking on the new single, Jamie xx says “’Dafodil‘ was one of the first pieces of music that I made for this album, it was actually the song that made me realise I could finally make another album. I am forever grateful to Kelsey Lu, with whom this song began as voice notes about a hazy night we both remembered. Thank you to John Glacier and Panda Bear whose voices perfectly evoke the unique feeling of summer nights in London.”
Kelsey Lu added “”Dafodil‘, A fun ride into a cute sexy hazy night in London shared with my dear friend Jamie xx. Memories of my first London summer I’ll cherish forever that are now encapsulated for us all to be in ecstasy together. See you on the dance floor.”
In April, Jamie released ‘Baddy On The Floor‘, his joyous summer collaboration with Honey Dijon, before heralding news of the album in June with the riotous ‘Treat Each Other Right‘; a muscular breakbeat anthem-meets-futuristic soul burner that was accompanied by a much-talked about video from photographer and filmmaker Rosie Marks. In June, he collaborated with Robyn on her first major new release in six years with ‘Life‘, a hymn as nu-disco affirmation that arrived in a blaze of horns and filtered loops, featuring one of the most iconic vocalists in recent times. Together with recent single ‘All You Children’ featuring The Avalanches and now ‘Dafodil’, fans get a glimpse into the joyous, euphoric record to come.
Jamie xx’s long-awaited solo return has unfolded across a series of exciting global events over the last three months. At the unveiling of The Floor in May – a 10 consecutive night London club residency that also featured unannounced guest appearances from Charli xcx and George Daniel, Romy, Daphni, 2ManyDJs, John Glacier, Jockstrap, Axel Boman, Two Shell, Yu Su, Lil Silva, MJ Cole, DJ Python and more – Jamie previewed every track from In Waves, including a live performance of unreleased track ‘Dafodil’ with guest vocalist John Glacier. At his triumphant return to Glastonbury in June, he was joined on-stage by Robyn for a performance of ‘Life,’ and his The xx bandmates Romy and Oliver Sim for a performance of the unreleased In Waves track ‘Waited All Night.’
In Waves will be available digitally, on CD and in multiple vinyl formats, A Deluxe LP will feature a bonus 12” of previous singles ‘It’s So Good’, ‘KILL DEM’ and ‘LET’S DO IT AGAIN’ plus two exclusive new tracks: ‘F U (ft. Erykah Badu)’ and ‘Do Something’.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
