The Avalanches Unveil Summer-Ready Single ‘Every Single Weekend’ with Jamie xx
The Melbourne electronic music collective The Avalanches have released their latest single, “Every Single Weekend,” featuring producer Jamie xx. The track, described as “summer-ready,” marks another collaboration between the two artists and continues their exploration of sampling and nostalgic soundscapes.
Collaboration with Jamie xx
“Every Single Weekend” first appeared as an interlude on Jamie xx’s 2024 album In Waves, according to the NME. The Avalanches have since reimagined the track, blending its laid-back groove with their signature eclectic style. The band credited Jamie xx’s 2015 album In Colour for reigniting their passion for sampling, stating in a statement: “This track is all about letting go, forgetting the 9-5 grind and enjoying every single weekend.”
The song’s accompanying video humorously critiques the superficial language of advertising, a theme that aligns with The Avalanches’ previous work, including their 2024 single “All You Children” and the 2020 track “Wherever You Go.”
Album Context and Recent Activity
This release follows the group’s return last month with “Together,” their first new track in six years. Featuring Nikki Nair, Jessy Lanza, and Prentiss, “Together” marked a nostalgic shift for the band, who have since been active in the music scene with live performances. In May 2026, The Avalanches hosted a surprise “free party” in East London’s OM venue, collaborating with artists like Yu Su, Nikki Nair, and Baalti.
The new single represents the band’s first material since their 2020 album We Will Always Love You, a follow-up to 2016’s Wildflower. The Avalanches’ debut album, Since I Left You (2000), remains a landmark in electronic music, with band members reflecting on its enduring legacy in a 2020 NME interview.
Looking Ahead
As The Avalanches continue to explore new creative directions, “Every Single Weekend” underscores their ability to blend retro influences with contemporary production. Fans can expect further releases as the group builds on their recent momentum.
