The Avalanches are the lucky final Sunday Spotlight artists for 2020. It's been a real long 2020. Back in February I had a plan to bring the Sunday post back, little did I know back then, 2020 was going to get weird. In June the weekly post slowed down to make way for some 90's fun.
July 2020 got back on track with the Sunday Spotlight returning with the likes of Jessie Ware, DMA's, The Streets and Cub Sport.
From July through Spring 2020 has seen a tonne of good new music. And next month The Avalanches will give us their third studio album, We Will Always Love You.
The group formed in Melbourne in 1997. They gave us their debut album Since I Left You in 2000 then we waited and waited for Wildflower in 2016.
Since I Left You was one of those debut albums that seemed almost impossible to follow up. I am not going to lie, Wildflower did not excite me too much, however what I have heard from We Will Always Love You, may very well be a return to form.
The new album will feature all of these folks including Sananda Maitreya, Vashti Bunyan, Blood Orange, Rivers Cuomo, Pink Siifu, Denzel Curry, Tricky, Sampa the Great, Leon Bridges, Johnny Marr, MGMT, Clypso, Neneh Cherry, Jamie xx, Kelly Moran, Cornelius, Karen O, Kurt Vile, Mick Jones, Cola Boyy, Perry Farrell, and Oroño.
Yes literally all of them will appears in some form or another on the album due for release 11 December 2020. The album spans over 25 tracks whilst being over 70 minutes of listening pleasure. Keep an ear out for it.
Until then grab some familiar The Avalanches sounds below.
Here is hoping to a more regular Sunday Spotlight series in 2021. For the remainder of 2020 on Sundays I will bring you Summer Music Lists and other random summer features. It's time to hit the beach, let our hair down, it's been a long year, so why not deep dive into The Avalanches and celebrate their new album in a couple of Friday's time. Is it farewell or fuck off 2020? I am going for the later.
