The Avalanches have shared some behind-the-scenes footage from the recording of their third album ‘We Will Always Love You’ to Twitter.
The plunderphonics duo recorded the Australian Boys Choir for the record’s single and title track, which features Blood Orange. They’ve released a video of the young kids singing the chorus refrain, directed and recorded by the band’s Toni Di Blasi inside Auburn Uniting Church in Melbourne.
