Jamie xx joins forces with The Avalanches on new single, ‘All You Children’

Jamie xx has teamed up with The Avalanches on a brand new single, ‘All You Children’, due to appear on his second studio album next month.

The new single landed on Tuesday, July 30, marking the third release from Jamie xx’s forthcoming record, ‘In Waves’, due to land via Young on September 20.

“The Avalanches have always been an inspiration for me,” he says on the track. “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.”
