Arriving mid-way through the turbulent 2010s, Jamie xx’s debut album ‘In Colour’ was one of the greatest of the decade. The work of an absolute perfectionist, here was a dance record that evoked the way in which sadness and euphoria – communality and loneliness – can exist alongside one another. Not for nothing did NME award the album almost top marks, concluding it was “defined by its creator making perfect choices”.
Here, then, nine years later, is the follow-up from the man tasked with injecting some sparkle into The xx (theoretically his main gig). And what long years they’ve been. David Bowie was still alive the last time Jamie xx released a solo album. Brexit was a mere threat, rather than an economy-thumping reality, and the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency still seemed like a bad joke. It would be another half a decade before Covid-19 wiped out dancefloors across the globe for a couple of years.
