Beloved Aussie samplers The Avalanches have released two bumper tracks today to celebrate the announcement of their upcoming third album, We Will Always Love You. 

The album, the highly anticipated follow up to 2016’s Wildflower, will drop December 11, containing 25 tracks. They’ve already released a bunch of singles from the record, including the title track (which features Blood Orange), ‘Running Red Lights’ (with Rivers Cuomo and Pink Siifu), ‘Wherever You Go’ (featuring Jamie XX, Neneh Cherry, and CLYPSO), and ‘Reflecting Light’ (with Sananda Maitreya and Vashti Bunyan).

Today, the band have released the bouncing ‘Music Makes Me High’, and ‘Take Care In Your Dreaming’ — a trippy and skittish collaboration with Australia’s finest Sampa The Great, Floridian rapper Denzel Curry, and English producer Tricky. Listen to them both below.

“[The album] like a single thought, that was followed through in one process, quite quickly,” says band member Robbie Chater of the new record. “It took only a couple of years from start to finish.”

“The conceptual heart of things is really important to me. I can’t just be blindly creative, I need to find a feeling and a deeply personal place that gives me the energy to start making a record and a story to share. Wildflower changed so much over fifteen, sixteen years, whereas with this album, we knew what it was about right at the beginning, and then we did it, and it’s done.”
