Australian electronic trio The Avalanches have confirmed details of their fourth studio album. No Bad Memories will arrive on 16 October, and the group have shared a new single, “Can’t Get Over Losing You”, featuring Louisiana artist Portraits of Tracy.

The record takes its cues from the slippery way advertising and brand nostalgia embed themselves in personal history. In a statement, the band described arriving at the album’s world by “revisiting imagery and jingles from childhood and realising 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.”

“Can’t Get Over Losing You” features vocals from Portraits of Tracy, a self-taught producer and multi-instrumentalist from Baton Rouge. Robbie Chater, who also produced the record, said of the collaboration: “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.” Portraits of Tracy added: “We started the song in 2024 and rerecorded it / finished it in 2025, and now she just sounds lovely!”

The single is the fourth preview of No Bad Memories, following “Blue Shadows” with Karen O, the Jamie xx collaboration “Every Single Weekend”, and “Together” featuring Nikki Nair, Jessy Lanza, and Prentiss. The LP's guest-heavy approach was established on Wildflower and We Will Always Love You.

The Avalanches - Robbie Chater, Tony Di Blasi, and Andy Szekeres - recently played Primavera Sound Barcelona and have announced a run of headline shows at London’s Roundhouse in November as part of Pitchfork Music Festival. A New York date at Terminal 5 is also booked for October, with further DJ sets scattered across Europe.

No Bad Memories is released on 16 October via Modular
