The Avalanches Reunite with Karen O on Groover ‘Blue Shadows’

The song is the group’s second collaboration with Karen O and follows recent singles as they continue teasing a fourth album.

  • Australian electronic group The Avalanches released 'Blue Shadows,' a new collaboration with Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen, marking their second time working together following the 2020 song 'Dial D For Devotion.'
  • Chater explained the track originated as an idea from Andy Szekeres that Tony Di Blasi discovered in an old folder, with the song built around a sample of 'Shadows From Nowhere' from early-80s group Blue Gas.
  • Karen called the collaboration 'a gift,' saying she jumped at the chance to record and noting, 'The Avalanches' frequency is high, I'm so happy to be asked to slide into it.'
  • The Avalanches recently performed at Primavera Sound Barcelona and announced London headline dates for November as part of Pitchfork Music Festival while teasing their fourth album.
  • 'Blue Shadows' follows the Jamie collaboration 'Every Single Weekend,' released last month, and the May track 'Together,' featuring Nikki Nair, Jessy Lanza, and Prentiss.
