In 2020, NME spoke to The Avalanches about the legacy of their landmark 2000 debut album, ‘Since I Left You’.
“I still remember four years [after it was released] my girlfriend at the time said, ‘You know people say it’s a really classic record?’” Robbie Chater said. “I’d never heard anybody say that. I just heard all the shit I should’ve done better.
“I have a great relationship with the album now. It sounds like a very young me made it. It’s naïve, heart-on-sleeve, it was never cool or ironic. It was passionate, of the moment, full of joy.”
We also reviewed their latest album ‘We Will Always Love You‘, giving it a four-star review. “The diversity of guest musicians, expertly woven music and compositional strength of the tracks on offer here add up to a journey well worth taking. ‘We Will Always Love You’ completes The Avalanches’ 20-year triptych on a hopeful note.”
