In a press release, the Aussie electronic group explained their fourth studio album is a nostalgic look back at name-brand technology and commercial jingles from their youth:

“It’s been interesting as adults to reflect on this often stunning period of marketing — the creativity, filmmaking, photography and music — but which was also – you know, selling a completely unobtainable dream. The way we value devices and products; the way we reflect and represent ‘a life lived’; the wonder of memory and deep power of nostalgia, especially in sound. Revisiting imagery and jingles from childhood and realizing how profoundly they have stuck… Taking these sound sources from within the heart of this kinda corporate framework and flipping the fragments into our own kind of joyous pop music… eventually we arrived at this world of No Bad Memories.”

The jubilant “Can’t Get Over Losing You” combines punchy drums with ethereal vocals from Louisiana producer Portraits of Tracy, who also contributed melodies to the track. In a statement, The Avalanches member Robbie Chater praised Tracy, calling the musician a “hilarious, brave and tender human being” whose “production and mixing is insane,” yet eclipsed by her vocals and songwriting.

The single is the fourth preview of the album after The Avalanches previously released “Together,” “Every Single Weekend” featuring Jamie xx, and “Blue Shadows” with Karen O. Pre-orders for No Bad Memories are ongoing.
