“Jamie xx’s music captures some of this spirit by being terribly hip and of-the-moment but also deeply emotional. It’s “cool” music designed to make you feel, and the mechanism is vulnerability.”
—Pitchfork
“that’s the point of In Waves … electrifying, unifying thrills”
—Vulture
A forward-thinking beatmaker and producer, Jamie xx has helped to shape the sound of the late 2000s and beyond with his Mercury Music Prize-winning group the xx, with their artful blend of indie pop, R&B, and dance sounds. A lauded solo artist and sought-after remixer in his own right, he has worked with everyone in popular music today producing songs for the likes of Adele, Radiohead, Alicia Keys, and Drake. His signature mix of the kinetic and the atmospheric are equally innovative and evocative, while showing a reverence for dance music’s power to move bodies and hearts.
Jamie returns to the Armory following his unforgettable residency with the xx in 2014 after 25 sell-out performances to kick off the North American tour supporting his long-awaited new release In Waves, his first solo album in 10 years. Reflecting the life- and world-changing events of the past decade—waves everyone has experienced both together and alone—the album replicates the emotional crescendos and thrilling volatility of an almost mystical night out, encapsulating fun, joy, and introspection all at once in a way that can best be experienced on the dance floor.
