“We’re so thrilled to be the winners of the prestigious AMP Award and be amongst the esteemed winners of the past,” they said in a statement.
“We’d love to thank everyone involved in making this award happen especially SoundMerch, also to the many people who helped us put this record together. A truly special day for us and we’re so grateful.”
It’s a bit of a process to decide the winner of the AMP, with over 40 judges – all either artists, journalists and programmers – putting their heads together to make the decision.
The Avalanches had to beat out a solid run of 2020 records to take this one home – including Tame Impala’s, ‘The Slow Rush’, Ziggy Ramo’s ‘Black Thoughts’, Miiesha’s ‘Nyaaringu’ and Alice Ivy’s ‘Don’t Sleep’, among others.
