The 12-track album is set for release on September 20, and is set to feature collaborations from Robyn, The Avalanches, Kelsey Lu, John Glacier and Panda Bear, Oona Doherty and his The xx bandmates Romy and Oliver Sim.

Recently, Jamie has been sharing snippets from the upcoming release at his London residency named The Floor.

Playing for 10 consecutive nights at Venue MOT last month, Jamie called in the likes of Charli XCX, MJ Cole, Daphni, Nick Léon, Jockstrap and more to make one-off appearances behind the decks.

Speaking on his new album, Jamie xx shares: “My new album, 'In Waves' will be out on September 20th. I am so unbelievably happy.

“It’s been a while… and a lot has happened in that time. Ups and downs, growing up, figuring stuff out and then forgetting it all many times over. Life-changing events and world-changing events. These waves that we have all experienced together and alone.”

He adds: “I wanted to make something fun, joyful and introspective all at once. The best moments on a dance floor are usually that for me.”

‘In Waves’ will be available digitally, on CD and vinyl with a deluxe LP also up for grabs featuring bonus tracks ‘It’s So Good’, ‘KILL DEM’ and ‘LET’S DO IT AGAIN’ and two exclusive new tracks ‘Do Something’ and ‘F U’ featuring Erykah Badu.
