The Avalanches confirm album release date, drop two new tracks
The Avalanches have shared a release date for their We Will Always Love You album, as well as dropping two new tracks, Denzel Curry, Tricky and Sampa The Great collaboration "Take Care In Your Dreaming" and "Music Makes Me High".
"Take Care In Your Dreaming" featuring Denzel Curry, Tricky and Sampa The Great, and "Music Makes Me High" follow on from previous singles "Running Red Lights" featuring Rivers Cuomo and Pink Siifu, "Wherever You Go" featuring Jamie xx, Neneh Cherry and CLYPSO, "Reflecting Light" with Sananda Maitreya and Vashti Bunyan, and Blood Orange collaboration "We Will Always Love You".
We Will Always Love You will be The Avalanches' first album in four years, after 2016's Wildflower.
The Avalanches' Robbie Chater says their new album is "an exploration of the human voice". He adds, "For us, to make the same record again, no matter how well executed, wouldn’t have been satisfying. We were looking to do something that would open up possibilities for the future. Take a bit of a left turn that frees us up to do whatever we want to next."
Chater also explains that their new LP came together "like a single thought, that was followed through in one process, quite quickly. The conceptual heart of things is really important to me, I can’t just be blindly creative, I need to find a feeling and a deeply personal place that gives me the energy to start making a record and a story to share. Wildflower changed so much over fifteen, sixteen years, whereas with this album, we knew what it was about right at the beginning, and then we did it, and it’s done."
