The Avalanches Rework Jamie xx Interlude for New Single 'Every Single Weekend'

The group is using a spoof Takumi/El Dorado ad campaign and Jonathan Zawada videos to frame a possible album-era rollout without announcing a record.

Overview

  • The Avalanches this week released 'Every Single Weekend', a full track built from an interlude that first appeared on Jamie xx’s 2024 album and credited Jamie xx as a collaborator.
  • Jonathan Zawada directed a short video for the song that plays like a soft-drink screen test and extends the trio’s ongoing spoof-ad motif centered on a fictional Takumi archive and El Dorado soda.
  • The single follows last month’s comeback track 'Together', which featured Nikki Nair, Jessy Lanza and Prentiss and marked the group’s first formal new material in years.
  • The current trio lineup is reported as Robbie Chater, Tony Di Blasi and Andy Szekeres, and the releases continue the band’s long-running practice of dense sampling and guest-heavy collaborations.
  • Despite the coordinated singles and promotional materials, no new album, title, or release date has been announced so the campaign should be read as suggestive rather than a confirmed album rollout.
