from modular:
In other news, we have to apologise to all those hearts we broke last week when we joked that we'd rejected The Avalanches' second album because it sounded rushed and that we're sending them back into the studio. It caused much distress to expectant fans and we didn't realize it would be picked up all over the place as a feature news story, basically the whole thing got a tad out of hand (although North Koreas response did seem a little extreme). We gently rib the guys like this on a monthly basis to hurry them along but of course they'll hand the record in when they're good and ready, and to be honest if they handed in a tape of fart samples we'd put it out no questions asked. Anyways word is its not far off and according to those collaborators who've heard bits and bobs its sounding like everything we dared not hope for, and so much more. They've made the record of their lives basically. In the mean time prepare your self with a hot cup of valium for the sleepy, creepy wonkiness that is their remix of Franz Ferdinand's 'Fade Together' available 17th July on the single 'Eleanor Put Your Boots On'.
yay!
what about dexter's solo album? I heard tracks in progress on the radio a while back... sounded good.
"Avalanches To Release Album Of Fart Samples"
seriously will the 2nd album ever come out?
Featuring covers of the hits:
Rumour is problem seems to be sample clearance. Again.
Mike Patton was just on UK MTV2 saying that they will be collaborating with him on the second Peeping Tom album...
what is it, 6 years since the last one?
i doubt anyone could release an album that would have a hope of matching up to the expectations placed on this one
Avalanches in new song shock!

i like the stuff on their website
Our favorite Australians, The Avalanches, are gearing up towards the release of their new album. In the meantime, they’re dropping some goodies such as this Wham vs. Digitalism track and their edit of the Carl Craig remix of their own track “A different feeling”.

Rad!!
i overheard a guy on the tram saying that dexter had a massive falling out (MFO) with all of the avalanches. is this true ?
He's not with them any more. Doing his own thing. I don't know if it was a 'Massive Falling Out', though. I think he just wanted to get on with it and do his own thing.
more new stuff (at least i think it is)
this time a teaser of the new record
in the gmail for those who give a shit
in the gmail for those who give a shit
I wonder how the album will go? I'm sure there are still a few fans out there from back in the day who give a shit, but is there any kind of mass audience?
Pitchfork will dribble shit all over it like they did the last one, and the UK went absolutely berserk for the last one, I think they'll sell a lot of records
oh, hah, i just phrased it like that cause i'm in a shit of a mood
i reckon it'll still do pretty well despite the long break (presuming it's not a total turkey of a record). people love australian electro / electronic / trash at the moment. if the van she can make a name for themselves o/s, i don't think the avalanches have anything to worry about

Poor K2
In the studio on Sunday.
surely this thread has to be one of the internet's leading sources of avalanches misinformation. where's the credit p4k?
Hello thread.
Can we blame this one on nui te koha?
No blame required anon.
k2 has been waiting six years, another false alarm just adds to the pile.
''..tis a thought/poem we did with David Berman who is such a beautiful writer. Very proud to be able to work with him.''

There's your second album. Hope it was worth the wait.
a teaser for the music of the new King Kong stage show has been released. the avalanches contribution is a version of ''Get Happy''.
worth the wait?
A 12 year wait for a 25 second sound bite and a track of a dude reciting poetry over some Avalanches music in the background? Even Axl Rose released or leaked more material during his Chinese Democracy era.
They should delete the Avalanches and start again.
I am 12 and where is this soundbyte?
