Jamie xx and The Avalanches have teamed up for “All You Children,” a new single from the former’s upcoming album, In Waves. Stream it below.
A pulsating club anthem with a bouncy bassline and building synths, “All You Children” provides a sense of catharsis as it instructs listeners to “stop your crying, dance with me” and bop along to the “happy beat.”
In a statement about the collaboration, Jamie xx raved about working with The Avalanches. “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,” he said.
This isn’t Jamie xx’s first time collaborating with The Avalanches. He previously contributed to “Wherever You Go” from their 2020 album, We Will Always Love You.
In Waves will be out September 20th via Young and features the previously released singles “Life” featuring Robyn, “Treat Each Other Right,” and “Baddy on the Floor.” In addition to The Avalanches and Robyn, the album features appearances from Panda Bear and fellow The xx members Romy and Oliver Sim.
To promote In Waves, Jamie xx will kick off his five-night “The Floor” residency in Los Angeles tonight. Later this year, he will make festival appearances at Hard Summer, Life Is Beautiful, and Portola in addition to a pair of headlining performances at London’s Alexandra Palace on September 25th and 26th.
