The Avalanches return with their new album No Bad Memories on October 16 2026. The LP inspired by the simultaneously magical and insidious ways that advertising and name-brand technology wraps itself around our memories. An ambivalent ode to the nostalgic pull of commercial jingles, proprietary start-up sounds and long forgotten audio logos. “It’s been interesting as adults to reflect on this often stunning period of marketing – the creativity, filmmaking, photography and music – but which was also – you know, selling a completely unobtainable dream. The way we value devices and products; the way we reflect and represent ‘a life lived’; the wonder of memory and deep power of nostalgia, especially in sound. Revisiting imagery and jingles from childhood and realizing how profoundly they have stuck… Taking these sound sources from within the heart of this kinda corporate framework and flipping the fragments into our own kind of joyous pop music … eventually we arrived at this world of No Bad Memories. – The Avalanches

No Bad Memories’ latestew single “Can’t Get Over Losing You”, features Louisiana self taught producer and artist Portraits of Tracy. The track combines driving, garage rock drums with The Avalanches signature nostalgic samples and euphoric melodies and vocals from Portraits of Tracy.

Says Robbie Chater: “Tracy is an hilarious, brave and tender human being who Tony and I have become very close to over the years we’ve been making music together. Almost weekly another song arrives .. “I made something new ..what do you guys think !? ” And they’re always SO good. Every single song ! Tracy’s production and mixing is insane but it’s her voice and songwriting that break my heart time after time, truly a generational talent ! We feel very fortunate to make music together”.

“Working with The Avalanches was such an awesome experience! I don’t find myself collaborating too often with peeps, but as soon as we connected it felt just right. We started the song in 2024 & rerecorded it / finished it in 2025, and now she just sounds lovely!” Portraits of Tracy.

Takumi Digital Archives proudly partners with dynaxion floppy disks ‘No Bad Memories with Dynaxion’. “At Takumi we understand that digital archives are more than data repositories – they are institutional memory, intellectual property, and cultural heritage”
