The Avalanches Return With New Song “Frankie Sinatra” Featuring MF DOOM and Danny Brown: Listen

In April, the Avalanches announced their imminent return to the stage, with shows at Primavera Sound, Field Day, and more. The group then shared a teaser video called “Since They Left Us,” which had cameos from Father John Misty, Danny Brown, Ariel Pink, Royal Trux’s Jennifer Herrema, and Kirin J. Callinan. Later that same week, they teased a new song, “Subway,” via a telephone hotline. Now, 16 years after their releasing seminal album Since I Left You, the Avalanches are back with brand new music. As promised, they've shared a new song called “Frankie Sinatra,” and it features MF DOOM and Danny Brown. It’s the song that Brown said would “change the world” back in 2014 when it was still called “Frank Sinatra.” The group premiered the track on Beats 1, where they also sat down for an interview with Zane Lowe. It's coming on their upcoming album Wildflower. Hear the track below.

In their interview with Lowe, they said that they wanted to work with Danny, who they said had a "punk rock voice." They said he flew to Melbourne and worked with them on another track.
