Jamie xx has shared a new song, “Dafodil,” from his imminent album In Waves. Kelsey Lu, Panda Bear, and John Glacier feature on the track, which began, said Jamie xx in press materials, “as voice notes [with Lu] about a hazy night we both remembered,” before John Glacier and Panda Bear contributed vocals that “perfectly evoke the unique feeling of summer nights in London.” Listen below.
Jamie xx added, “‘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.”
And Lu said, “‘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.”
In Waves arrives September 20, via Young. It includes the songs “Baddy on the Floor,” “Treat Each Other Right,” “Life,” and “All You Children.”
