The Avalanches Are Working On a New Album

The Avalanches have revealed in a new interview that they’re already at work on the follow-up to last year’s excellent album Wildflower. Speaking with Sydney-based radio station FBI Radio, the band’s Robbie Chater talked about the studio sessions they’ve been doing while off tour. “In the few weeks since we’ve been home from the States, me and Tony have just been writing,” he said. “It’s flowing so quickly. I think getting Wildflower out of the way and following up Since I Left You feels like a weight’s been lifted. The [new] music is really light, it’s some of the best stuff we’ve done.” The band went to say, “We’ve got eight songs we’re playing to the label on Monday. Who knows when [they’ll be out]? Next year? It’s definitely soon.” Wildflower, of course, arrived 16 years following the band’s debut. Check out the full interview here.
