According to Stereogum.com, the Avalanches are prolific collaborators and the same is true of Faith No More/Mr. Bungle frontman Mike Patton. Up until now, the Avalanches and Patton have never worked together, but that changes right now. The Avalanches are currently in the midst of rolling out their new album, No Bad Memories, which comes out next month. Today, Patton has announced that he will appear on three new Avalanches tracks, one of which also features Haley Joel Osment.

The Avalanches have not unveiled a track list for No Bad Memories yet. When they announced the album last month, they shared the Portraits Of Tracy collab “Can’t Get Over Losing You.” They have also released a handful of other recent singles, all of which have featured guests: “Together,” with Nikki Nair, Jessy Lanza, and Prentiss; “Every Single Weekend,” with Jamie xx and “Blue Shadows,” with Karen O. We do not yet know for sure whether those tracks will appear on No Bad Memories but it feels like a good bet.

On Instagram, Patton has confirmed that he is on three No Bad Memories tracks: “Total Recall,” “Superfun™ TV Spot” and “Paradise Island.” “Superfun™ TV Spot” also features Haley Joel Osment, who was part of the early No Bad Memories teasers and who  doesn’t have any background as a musician, though his acting roles have certainly had their effect on music. “Paradise Island,” meanwhile, also features the Tunisian footwork producer Khadija Al Hanafi.
