The Avalanches made their comeback in 2016 with the album ‘Wildflower’, which followed an extended break of over a decade and a half since lauded 2000 debut album ‘Since I Left You’.
Following the release of ‘We Will Always Love You’ in 2020, the band reissued ‘Since I Left You’ to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
The deluxe release features additional bonus tracks and new remixes, including versions of Avalanches songs by MF DOOM,Leon Vynehall, Carl Craig and more.
Retrospectively discussing the album, Robbie Chater said: “I remember very clearly a few things – we decided to not have any of our voices on it, which made it last because it’s a kind of transmission; nothing date-stamps it to that time.
“Music lovers get it, and that’s what we ultimately are. It’s almost like an exploration of our relationship with the world and with music. Looking back, I’m proud of this record as a pure expression of joy and love, heart on its sleeve and is free from irony.”
