Jamie xx reveals new single ‘Dafodil’, from his hotly-anticipated second album In Waves, released 20th September. A collaborative masterclass featuring Kelsey Lu, Panda Bear and John Glacier, ‘Dafodil’ is a swirling summer symphony that conjures the intense feelings of euphoria experienced on a dance floor. Watch the mesmerising visualiser below!
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.
‘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 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’.
