“Running Red Lights” by The Avalanches featuring Rivers Cuomo and Pink Siifu

"Running Red Lights" sits on We Will Always Love You, the Avalanches' third album, released through Modular in December 2020, and it hands the microphone to two guests, Rivers Cuomo and Pink Siifu.

The record grew out of a clean slate. Wildflower had finally landed in 2016, 16 years after Since I Left You, and once that tour wrapped, Robbie Chater and Tony Di Blasi started over; Chater even sold off most of his 7,000 records before the work began. The sampling habit survived, though the album leans on it less than the old plunderphonics days did. Chater produced and mixed this track, with Di Blasi and Andrew Szekeres as additional producers and Mike Callander layering synthesizers, tape and effects. The writing credit runs seven names deep: Chater, Di Blasi, Szekeres, Cuomo, David Berman, Jeremy Earl and Jarvis Taveniere.
