Explained simply
The Avalanches are an Australian electronic music group best known for making sample-based records. Their music often combines short pieces of older recordings, voices and sounds into densely layered songs, with debut album Since I Left You becoming especially influential after its release in 2000.
The group’s releases have often come years apart, partly because their style involves extensive work finding, clearing and arranging samples. Their previous album, We Will Always Love You, came out in 2020 and featured a wide range of guest singers and musicians.
Modular is an Australian independent record label closely associated with electronic and alternative music. The new album’s focus on jingles and advertising points to an interest in the sounds and language used to sell products, while its announced guests reflect the group’s habit of working with artists from different parts of contemporary music.
