London musician, DJ and producer Jamie xx has announced his long-awaited second album, In Waves, alongside the new single, "Treat Each Other Right".

The forthcoming release comes nine years on from the release of his GRAMMY, BRIT, Ivor Novello and Mercury Music Prize-nominated debut album, In Colour, and sees Jamie collaborate with Honey Dijon, Robyn, The Avalanches, Kelsey Lu, John Glacier and Panda Bear, Oona Doherty and his The xx bandmates Romy and Oliver Sim.

Jamie previewed the album across his already-legendary The Floor residency which took place at South East London's Venue MOT from 16-25 May. The series of intimate, 300-capacity events saw him perform at ten consecutive parties alongside a secret, personally-curated lineup of collaborators and friends who weren't announced until the night itself. The bespoke club space was graced by the likes of 2ManyDJs, Cooly G, Romy, Charli XCX and George Daniel, MJ Cole, Daphni, Nick Léon, DJ Python, Jockstrap, Doc Scott, John Glacier and more.

"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," Jamie says. "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 as a deluxe LP which will feature a bonus 12” of previous singles “It’s So Good”, “KILL DEM” and “LET’S DO IT AGAIN” plus two exclusive new tracks: “F U (ft. Erykah Badu)” and “Do Something”.

Jamie xx has also announced a hometown show at London's Alexandra Palace on 26 September.
