Today, The Avalanches revealed the track listing for their new album, We Will Always Love You, along with featured artists, in a new video, which features the song “Always Black” ft. Pink Siifu. View HERE. We Will Always Love You will be released by Astralwerks on December 11.

Sampling remains at the core of The Avalanches’ sound, but alongside all of the sample ghosts, We Will Always Love You features an array of living guests who contribute vocals and lyrics, including: MGMT, Rivers Cuomo, Denzel Curry, Johnny Marr, Neneh Cherry, Perry Farrell, Karen O, Mick Jones, Sampa the Great, Tricky, Kurt Vile and Blood Orange. The Avalanches’ music has always dripped with melody, but because of this expanded role for guest singers and writers, this is their most song-oriented album yet.

We Will Always Love You is available for pre-order HERE. Fans who pre-order the digital album will instantly receive “Interstellar Love” (feat. Leon Bridges), Take Care In Your Dreaming” (feat. Denzel Curry, Tricky & Sampa The Great), “Music Makes Me High,” “We Will Always Love You” (feat. Blood Orange), “Running Red Lights” (feat. Rivers Cuomo & Pink Siifu), “Reflecting Light” (feat. Sananda Maitreya & Vashti Bunyan) and “Wherever You Go” (feat. Jamie xx, Neneh Cherry & CLYPSO). A limited edition Grant Spanier x The Avalanches photo book is now available from the band’s store.

If there’s a single spark for We Will Always Love You, it’s the story of the love affair between Ann Druyan and Carl Sagan: “science communicators” whose writings and TV programs brought the ever-deepening mysteries of astronomy and astrophysics to the mass audience. It’s a story that also sparked the imagination of GRAMMY® Award winning singer-songwriter Leon Bridges, who features on “Interstellar Love.” The song features a typically audacious sampling from The Alan Parsons Project’s iconic “Eye In The Sky.” The Avalanches recently performed “Interstellar Love” at the Melbourne Planetarium with Bridges joining them live from Niles City Sound in Ft. Worth, TX for “The Sound,” an Australia television program. View their performance HERE and below:

Stepping boldly into new terrain and sparkling with the treble frequencies that made Since I Left You such a dizzy thrill, We Will Always Love You is dedicated to probing the vibrational relationship between light, sound and spirit. But as the full track listing reveals, the goal now is elevation rather than intoxication.

About THE AVALANCHES
On their groundbreaking debut, Since I Left You, The Avalanches presented the world with a totally unique sound, crafted by meticulously combining over 3,500 vinyl samples. This approach set a precedent for dance music, inspiring a whole generation of musicians and producers. Released in Australia in 2000 and in the U.S. and the U.K. in 2001, Since I Left You is now regarded as a modern classic, It was named one of the year’s best albums by critics around the world and later placed in the Top 10 of Pitchfork’s Top 200 Albums of the 2000s and in the Top 20 of Rolling Stone’s Greatest EDM Albums of All Time. The video for the title track won Best Video at the 2001 MTV Europe Music Awards and was named as one of the top music videos of the 2000s by Pitchfork.

The release and subsequent touring in support of Since I Left You was followed by a 16-year radio silence, which was broken with the release of The Avalanches’ sophomore album, Wildflower (Astralwerks). It debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Vinyl Albums chart and atop the Australian Albums chart in 2016. Wildflower earned six ARIA Award nominations and international acclaim, with The Guardian hailing it as "a joyous journey" and Pitchfork proclaiming it “better than just about any music ever made” and “an album that could have been made by nobody but the Avalanches.”
