"Why am I fighting to stay on this payroll?" - perfect line for the times.

[@hernanmauriciosanabriatruj6208]

It still amazes me how The Avalanches merged a ballad queen, a punk icon & a dancehall newcomer into a track that not only works out but, actually, encapsules 2020 vibes in its entirety. My favourite song from last year, this video makes me love it more.

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

the avalanches are a lot like Gorillaz in that way and it's great

[@todaywaspretty6309]

its amazing but doesn't surprise me one bit. The avalanches are the pioneers of this sound, even before the Gorillaz.

[@nedhill1242]

As soon as I heard this song on the radio I thought Mick Jones might be the producer because it just sounds so much like BAD II

[@austinmonroe3894]

It’s truly a beautiful piece of art that is able to do exactly this.

The drop after the "power to the people" line is the craziest thing ever. I just discovered The Avalanches today and I'm totally hooked. The album is genius. Edit: One year ago, I discovered The Avalanches and Cola Boyy with this masterpiece only to find out today that Cola Boyy is gone. We send out love to you Cola Boyy just as you did with Karen. Power To The People ♥

About to turn 36, up at 2am just jamming for the first time in years.... I have been so caught up with "adult" life that I didnt even realize the avalanches dropped a 3rd album(4 years ago ugh). Just discovered Cola Boyy I am a instant fan, and he's gone before I even knew he existed . We got to stop and remember to enjoy life. Time is flying by so fast and I'm clearly missing my favorite parts of what living is. I am NOT going to let this world continue to beat me down. Thanks Cola Boyy, RIP.

What the HELL is it that makes everything you guys make so connecting? EVERY music video you guys have ever produced I have connected to it in some nostalgic, back-of-my-mind childhood memory type way. What a dream, what a trip it is to be an Avalanches fan

The computer-generated imagery or animated video for We Go On always seems to remind myself of the relatively small window brothels, contained within Amsterdam's main red-light district, known as De Wallen.

This whole time i thought it was “fighting each other”

[@JoeJoel]

I thought the same. Had to be corrected by a friend who had memorized the original song and Karen Carpenter’s lyrics.

[@aceup1]

I wish the music video reflected how good this song is, but with covid and all I understand it must be more difficult to go all out like on SILY and Wildflower. Anyway, just picked up this record at my local shop, and it has not disappointed! Keep up the amazing music (and don't wait a decade between albums!) Another note, I'm really digging the less samples on the album, especially compared to your early stuff. It feels more organic and intentional to have recorded so much yourselves ❤

[@MajoraWaffle]

agreed! i think that the avalanches building songs around samples rather then building songs out of them on WWALY was a great and bold direction for them and is somewhat reminiscent of their el producto days!
