Jamie xx releases second new unique of the yr, solely his fourth since 2015, “KILL DEM”

Jamie xx, as transient as his releases are, simply launched his second single of the yr at present, “KIL DEM.” In actual fact, since his album In Color in 2015, he’s solely launched three different unique tracks, in addition to one remix, one “reside remix,” and a membership verison of “SeeSaw” from the album.

The brand new monitor at present makes use of his attribute minimal and melodic manufacturing, combining catchy looped and chopped vocals with a easy melody and rhythm that’s a right away earworm — however extra importantly, maybe, the minimal manufacturing leaves it ripe for remixes to fill within the gaps. Not that they have to be stuffed within the first place.

You may catch Jamie xx live this weekend at Forest Hills Stadium in New York and at Portola Pageant in San Francisco, then the Hollywood Bowl on the finish of the month.
