Avalanches – No Bad Memories (Yellow vinyl) (2LP)

On their fourth album No Bad Memories, The Avalanches explore the magical intersection of advertising,
memory and nostalgia, examining how jingles, sonic logos, commercials and the sounds of technology quietly
embed themselves in our lives, becoming inseparable from the memories they soundtrack. Turning this
forgotten commercial ephemera into something warm, euphoric and deeply human, the album reframes the
sounds as joyous portals into childhood and collective memory. It’s a characteristically kaleidoscopic
Avalanches world, brought to life with an extraordinary cast of collaborators spanning generations and
genres, including Jamie xx, Barry Can’t Swim, Karen O, Rivers Cuomo, Vegyn, John Glacier, Haruomi Hosono
and Loaded Honey. At once playful, emotional and conceptually ambitious, No Bad Memories asks what
happens when the disposable sounds of consumer culture become some of the most enduring sounds we
carry with us.
