Earlier today, Zane Lowe announced that he would be premiering a new song by The Avalanches tonight on Beats 1, the group's first new material in since their 2000 debut Since I Left You. The new song - "Frankie Sinatra" - features verses from MF Doom and Danny Brown.
The group also announced that they would soon be releasing Wildflower, a brand new album that will contain 21 songs (or "segments" according to Zane Lowe). The album will be out on July 8 and is available for preorder now. "Sorry we kept you waiting," The Avalanches wrote in a note to fans posted on Instagram. "It's been a wild ride and at times we thought we would never make it through. What kept us going was a belief in the day-to-day experience of music as a life force."
