Written by The Avalanches have shared their second single since launching a stealthy teaser campaign earlier this year. Following their In Waves collaboration “All You Children,” the Aussie trio has reunited with Jamie xx for “Every Single Weekend,” as well as with video director Jonathan Zawada. His short tells the story of a hopeful model trying out for an ad for the fictional El Dorado drink that has been a motif of this current Avalanches rollout. Will they get the part? Find out below.
In a press release, the Avalanches said, “We’ve loved collaborating with Jamie xx over the years—his In Colour album reignited our passion for sampling, and this track is all about letting go, forgetting the 9-5 grind and enjoying every single weekend.” Last month, the Avalanches released “Together,” their first formal single in six years. That featured Nikki Nair, Jessy Lanza, and Prentiss, and came with another Zawada-directed video, in which a floppy disc dances with an iPod. Despite the increasingly elaborate promo campaign, no album has yet been announced.
