Jamie xx links up with Kelsey Lu, Panda Bear and John Glacier on "Dafodil"
Jamie xx has released “Dafodil”, as the fourth song to be revealed from forthcoming second album, In Waves.
A collaborative masterclass featuring Kelsey Lu, Panda Bear and John Glacier, "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.
The track follows "All You Children" featuring The Avalanches; "Life" featuring Robyn; and “Baddy On The Floor” which was made in collaboration with Honey Dijon.
“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," Jamie xx says. "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.”
In Waves will be released on 20 September via Young, and is available to pre-order now.
