The long-awaited new album by Jamie xx In Waves is the next chapter in the career of one of the most in demand producers of his generation.

A strobelight epiphany about the illimitable possibilities and spiritual capacities of humanity. Nine years after his debut solo masterpiece, In Colour the London producer has not only eclipsed the heights of it's predecessor, he's somehow made all supernatural adjectives and analogies seem understated
