We Will Always Love You

The Avalanches (feat. Blood Orange)

Night time, I’m fine
Dreaming of another life.

Another timeless, miracle of a song. Somehow they’ve cooked up the melancholy title track of this outstanding record to include Smoky Robinson, The Roaches and a new sublime, vocal from the uber-talented Dev Hynes. It all sounds beautiful and seamless, clocking in under three minutes. And those dreamy R&B vocals that carry us out feel so buoyant and lovely.

Here’s something the band wrote — how they approached this record and what it means to them when a song connects.

Sometimes we receive a message. Telling us our music has been there; through dark times, loneliness, loss. There are no words to express how moving or profound this connection with you is. Because the music was born out of such moments itself, and so it is felt, by those with open hearts, on the same wavelength it was first created. Morse Code beamed and received by hearts and hearts alike. Our new record is about such journeys, from darkness to light. About life after (all kinds of) death. About the transcendent nature of music itself. Every voice ever played on the radio over the last 100 years now exists in the stars; the transmissions of these singers are forever floating around out there, lost in the cosmos, endlessly travelling. Tonight Smokey Robinson duets with Dev Hynes and The Roches. Those spirits are out there. We are each a tune, floating in space And this one's for you.
