An Open Letter To All Australians: I Demand More Avalanches News

Dan Gibson | January 13, 2009 2:00 am
If Australian radio station Triple J is going to tease news about the Avalanches, who have been largely silent since the 2000 release of Since I Left You, I’m going to demand constant and through updates. On Dec. 2, the station’s website reported that a completed Avalanches disc would be in the hands of their Australian label Modular by Christmas. Well, Christmas is in the world’s collective rearview mirror at this point, and while I’m not expecting a leak or anything, could Triple J cough up a picture of Darren Seltmann handing the master to Modular head Steve Pavlovic? Radio 1 played “Since I Left You” on Saturday, and while a new album might be a massive Chinese Democracy-style disappointment, at least it would end the mystery. [Triple J]
