Posted by The legendary Australian production team The Avalanches have officially announced their forthcoming studio album, No Bad Memories, set for release on October 16th. Widely regarded as one of the most influential forces in electronic music, the duo has built a career on a discography that continues to inspire successive generations of artists.
Following a period of silence and a deliberate clearing of their social media channels, the group hinted at a new chapter. The anticipation proved well-founded, as the duo has now confirmed the details of their latest project. No Bad Memories is described as a profound meditation on the nature of desire and memory, exploring how society simultaneously fosters and stifles our deepest ambitions.
Reflecting on the creative process, the duo shared: “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 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’.”
The announcement is accompanied by the new single, “Can’t Get Over Losing You,” which features guest vocals from Portraits Of Tracy. The Baton Rouge-based artist has been a long-term collaborator with the group. Robbie Chater of The Avalanches praised the partnership, noting, “Tracy’s production and mixing is insane but it’s her voice and songwriting that break my 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 and re-recorded it / finished it in 2025, and now she just sounds lovely!”
