Listen: The Avalanches - Since I Left You (Stereolab Remix)
The Avalanches watershed debut album, Since I Left You, is about to receive the deluxe 10-Year Anniversary treatment it deserves.
Since I Left You is a record that came seemingly out of nowhere and went on to become not only one of the most influential records of the last decade, but in recent polls conducted by both Pitchfork Media and Australian radio station triple j, as one of the greatest and most beloved albums of all time.
Radio Soulwax speak with The Avalanches
The Avalanches popped into the Radio Soulwax studio at the Opera House for chat with David & Stephen from 2manydjs. The full interview is airing on triple j this evening from 6pm AEST - and will be available on-demand on-line.
For the first time in almost a decade Tony and Robbie chatted about making music and their favourite Australian bands.
They were suitably vague on details but did confirm that they have been working on a new album - in fact they have enough material for four! Now the hard part is narrowing down the tracks for the mixing process...
Stay tuned, there's plenty of exciting Avalanches news to come in the coming months.
