Last year The Avalanches reissued their 2000 debut album ‘Since I Left You’ to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

Robbie Chater – who, along with Tony Di Blasi, remains part of the original Avalanches line-up – said of the album: “I remember very clearly a few things – we decided to not have any of our voices on it, which made it last because it’s a kind of transmission; nothing date-stamps it to that time.

“Music lovers get it, and that’s what we ultimately are. It’s almost like an exploration of our relationship with the world and with music. Looking back, I’m proud of this record as a pure expression of joy and love, heart on its sleeve and is free from irony.”
