On Saturday 19th December, The Avalanches will be playing tracks from the rooftop of Melbourne institution Curtin House across three time zones. The live performance will be accompanied by a screening of Jonathan Zawada’s short film Carrier Waves, which the Avalanches say “explores the transcendant nature of music itself”.

After revealing that their third studio album had been completed, The Avalanches shared ‘Reflecting Light’, alongside ‘Wherever You Go’, featuring Jamie XX and Neneh Cherry, as well as Sananda Maitreya and Vashti Bunyan. The two singles follow a release alongside Blood Orange, and ‘Running Red Lights’, featuring Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo.

In September, The Avalanches teamed up with Tony Hawk to release a rare X-ray vinyl.
