Jamie xx Collaborates With The Avalanches
Jamie xx has dropped “All You Children”. The track is lifted from his forthcoming album In Waves, available September 20th via Young. the track sees Jamie team up with The Avalanches on “a swirling club anthem propelled by a hypnotic chorus of chants and Moroder-esque basslines”. It’s the second collaboration from two artists who’ve enjoyed a longstanding mutual appreciation, with Jamie previously contributing (alongside Neneh Cherry) to “Wherever You Go” from The Avalanches’ 2020 album We Will Always Love You.
Speaking about “All You Children”, Jamie xx says: “The Avalanches have always been an inspiration for me. Their sample technique and how they piece together different sounds is incredible and collaborating on a track with them has showed me new ways of making music.” while The Avalanches add: “We’re so excited about the release of this track with Jamie “All You Children.” We hope you love it as much as we do.”
“All You Children” is the latest single from In Waves. In April, Jamie released “Baddy On The Floor”, his collaboration with Honey Dijon, and “Treat Each Other Right” that was accompanied by a 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.
