Electronic music duo The Avalanches will release their fourth album, 'No Bad Memories', on October 16, 2026. The album, distributed by Polydor, is described as eclectic and chaotic, featuring 31 tracks condensed into 52 minutes.
The record includes contributions from over 20 guest artists, such as Suzanne Ciani, Karen O, Panda Bear, Jamie xx, Barry Can’t Swim, Mike Patton of Faith No More, and Carly Simon. It is also accompanied by a surrealist multi-format sci-fi film starring Haley Joel Osment.
The guiding theme of 'No Bad Memories' is advertising, branding, and nostalgia, with the album incorporating snippets of commercials and sounds from the early digital era. Reviewers note its shifting tone, moving between joyous and despondent sections, and its design as an excessive and overstimulating experience.
