Jamie xx: In Waves review bright, blissful bangers for 3am on big speakers
Briefly

In Waves is a follow-up to In Colour, maintaining a vibrant mood while shifting focus towards club music, experimenting beyond the sound celebrated in its predecessor.
The album opens with Wanna, which incorporates recognizable UK garage samples, yet it never fully develops as expected, illustrating the album's subtle complexities.
In Waves uses its monochrome artwork to suggest a starker, more experimental sound, moving from the celebratory nature of In Colour to a more refined space.
While both albums celebrate London's dance music legacy, In Waves leans more into the club experience, making it necessary to engage with its lively textures.
