After a series of teasers, the Avalanches have announced their new album, No Bad Memories. The follow-up to 2020’s We Will Always Love You arrives on October 16 via Modular. Along with the news, they’ve dropped ‘Can’t Get Over Losing You’, a collaboration with Portraits of Tracy, which arrives with an animated music video by Jonathan Zawada. Check it out below, and scroll down for the cover artwork (by Jonathan Zawad).
“Tracy is a hilarious, brave and tender human being who we have become very close to over the years we’ve been making music together,” the band wrote in a statement. “Tracy’s production and mixing is insane but it’s her voice and songwriting that break our heart time after time, truly a generational talent! We feel very fortunate to make music together.”
Portraits of Tracy added: “Working with The Avalanches was such an awesome experience! I don’t find myself collaborating too often with peeps, but as soon as we connected it felt just right. We started the song in 2024 & rerecorded it / finished it in 2025, and now she just sounds lovely!”
No Bad Memories includes the previously released singles ‘Blue Shadows’ featuring Karen O, the Jamie xx-assisted ‘Every Single Weekend’, and ‘Together’ with Jessy Lanza, Nikki Nair, and Prentiss. “It’s been interesting as adults to reflect on this often stunning period of marketing – the creativity, filmmaking, photography and music – but which was also – you know, selling a completely unobtainable dream,” the band explained. “The way we value devices and products; the way we reflect and represent ‘a life lived’; the wonder of memory and deep power of nostalgia, especially in sound. Revisiting imagery and jingles from childhood and realizing how profoundly they have stuck… Taking these sound sources from within the heart of this kinda corporate framework and flipping the fragments into our own kind of joyous pop music … eventually we arrived at this world of No Bad Memories.”
