The Avalanches

Far Away

Shared on September 8, 2026, five weeks before No Bad Memories, where it is track fifteen. A moody dance track: the UK art-rapper John Glacier’s sleepy, deadpan voice over rushing drums, with the Tunisian footwork producer Khadija Al Hanafi, who appears on five songs on the album. The group recorded with Glacier over a London summer; the video was shot in December in Tokyo and Minakami on a 2001 Sony Handycam.
