Yesterday, the Avalanches updated their social media accounts, providing hope that news on their very, very long-awaited follow-up to 2000's Since I Left You would come imminently. They still have not given any new word on the album, but it's been announced that they'll play three festival shows this summer: Barcelona's Primavera Sound (on June 3 at Parc del Fòrum and June 5 at the closing party in the sala Apolo), London's Field Day (June 12), and Australia's Splendour in the Grass (July 22-24). The Avalanches' last DJ set was in 2011 and their last live performance was in 2007.

Last year, founding member Darren Seltmann left the Avalanches. It was the first significant news from them since Danny Brown said in 2014 that his collaboration with them will "change the world."

As Avalanches news keeps coming in, revisit what we knew about their album four years ago.
