The Avalanches will finally hit the stage at Primavera tomorrow before heading back our way next month for Splendour In The Grass.
Commenting on the new upcoming record, set for release on 8 July, The Avalanches' Robbie Chater said, "What kept us going during the making this record was a belief in the day-to-day experience of music as a life force – as life energy".
"Hearing a certain song on a certain morning can change your day; it can make the world look different, changing the way you perceive light refracting through the atmosphere for the rest of the afternoon. Literally changing the colour, feeling and tone of your world."
