THE AVALANCHES SHARE NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO, “RUNNING RED LIGHTS” FEAT. RIVERS CUOMO & PINK SIIFU

Today, Astralwerks released The Avalanches’ soaring new single, “Running Red Lights.” Featuring the unmistakable voice of Rivers Cuomo, the track finds the Weezer front man in a single-minded mood, emotional – “I’m a thundercloud, ready to burst like Schrödinger” – and running red lights to reach his lover. Set against The Avalanches’ ghostly dreamscape, Cuomo sounds as though he’s speeding along a cosmic highway, while synths, harps and tambourines swell, sparkle and cascade all around. Enter Pink Siifu, incantating the words of the late, great David Berman (lifted from the Purple Mountains’ tune “Darkness And Cold”) and clairvoyance seems to hang in the ether.

Tunnel – New single “Walking The Vine” is out now!

“Our new single, “Walking The Vine,” which appears on our upcoming album due April 10th, was written with a sense of optimism in mind, yet it also captures the darkness that comes with our own personal struggles. The song is about dealing with people that come and go in your life, and how that can unconsciously drain you.

Our band member Kevin accidentally triggered the synth loop heard at the beginning of the song and began to drum on top of it, which led to the track’s birth. It became clear to us that a voice was needed, and so “Walking The Vine” became Kevin’s vocal debut.”
