The Avalanches have announced their highly-anticipated follow-up to 2016’s Wildflower. Titled We Will Always Love You, the new album still has no release date attached to it, but the group have unveiled its cover artwork, designed by Jonathan Zawada. Check it out below.
In a social media post, the band also revealed that Ann Druyan’s “cosmic love story inspired this music.” Druyan, who is the Creative Director of the Voyager Golden Record Project, features on the sleeve for We Will Always Love You. “In keeping with the album’s theme of everlasting love as an undying vibration, Ann’s image was run through a spectograph, turned into sound, and back again,” The Avalanches wrote. “The image remains hidden, deep within in the grooves of the music, for you to discover if you wish.”
They added: “An exploration of the vibrational relationship between light, sound and spirit, “We Will Always Love You” will be available for pre-order next week, with more details to follow soon.”
Through 2020, The Avalanches have shared a series of collaborative singles, including ‘Running Red Lights’ with Rivers Cuomo and Pink Siifu, ‘We Will Always Love You’ with Blood Orange, and ‘Wherever You Go’ with Jamie xx, Neneh Cherry, and CLYPSO.
