THe Avalanches have shared "a Christmas jam for you all" featuring Freddie Gibbs - it's called "Bad Day".
The song follows the Australian outfit's comeback record Wildflower - their second LP and first in 16 years.
"Bad Day" is described in the title as a "rough mix", so it's either a work-in-progress from something new (so soon?! It's not even been a decade since their last release) or a studio offcut that didn't get properly polished for Wildflower. We reckon the latter.
