The Avalanches and Karen O Share New Single
“Blue Shadows” poses the age-old question: “Does anybody know how to mend a broken heart?"
The Avalanches are back with another single, and this time Karen O is involved. “Blue Shadows” poses the age-old question, “Does anybody know how to mend a broken heart?” It’s built around a prominent sample of “ Shadows From Nowhere ,” a 1983 Italo single by the composer Celso Valli under his moniker Blue Gas. Listen below.
The new release continues an already-fruitful year for the Australian trio of Robbie Chater, Tony Di Blasi, and Andy Szekeres. After they returned with their first new song in six years, “ Together ,” in May, they followed it up with the Jamie xx collab “ Every Single Weekend ” last month. The group’s most recent LP, We Will Always Love You , came out in 2020. Karen O appeared briefly on that album via the interlude “Dial D for Devotion.”
