The Avalanches know exactly what they're doing.
Think about it:
>Band goes 16 years without a followup album
>The idea of getting one amongst fans is almost mythical and cult-like at this point
>Band knows there's no way they can realistically exceed the expectations that come with 16 years of hype
>Announce the new album and purposefully put out a weird/lackluster single
>This single dampers the hype considerably but not totally by any means
>Once everyone's expectations have been lowered, release the album
>The rest of the album is amazing, and everyone loves it because it was way better than what they were expecting after the hype was killed by Frankie Sinatra
Absolute genius, honestly
They released it solely for its features, how does /mu/ not realise this?
The same mental gymnastics AnCo fans used for PW.
>>65365578
Exactly - even more genius, they went for the two for one pleb punch, yet in context with the album Frankie Sinatra will still probably fit in perfectly
These guys planned for this shit
>>65365551
and TKOL pt 2 is on the way right :^)
>>65365578
Contrarian idiots who think these artists should pander to their tastes.
>>65365610
Except Floridada was promising
Reminder this isn't the song Danny Brown said would change the world
"I did one song with them a while ago and it was cool," Brown told Triple J. "They felt like it was OK and I felt like it was OK. But then we actually got in the studio and made a record and I swear the record we made is incredible. 'Frank Sinatra' was the first one we did. That was cool but the one we did after that... I swear, if we put that out, it'll change the world. I heard it that first night and that was the only time I heard it. I wanna hear it again!"
OP is right. Even they felt meh about but featured it as a single so the hype would die down.
>>65365753
compared to the rest of the album, it is very weak.
>>65365777
fucking digits speakin the truth!!
>>65365777
So why release a single that even the band members were iffy about? They makes no sense
>>65365777
777 of truth. Avalanches are pulling our leg
>>65365875
did you even read the OP friend?
Is there a chance that this single won't make it to the album?
>>65365875
did you read the FUCKING ARGUMENT????
>>65365777
AND GOD IS SEVEN
>>65365925
Its on the track listing but maybe there will be an alternate version or get scarped after reception finally sinks in
>>65365777
Trips confirm an elaborate ruse
>>65365551
but then why isn't it the album opener too? it doesn't make sense to have it 4th. OP debunked, get dunked (on) ;^)
>>65365551
I have a feeling the song itself is shit and is shit as a single but in context with the album and flow it'll make sense and be better.
>>65365999
The hype would be destroyed then, since the band would be equating it to SILY in importance.
>>65365999
well you've got to have a strong album opener, everybody knows that, but yeah the album gonna suck.
>>65365777
What do you think of this, a leaked bit of If I Was A Folkstar
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxhaoTW1ESL6NVpGRE1BWF9teVU/view
>>65366493
...can someone check this
>>65366677
It comes up as real if you shazam it, and it gets taken down if you put it on youtube.
Here's another link if you don't like google.

>>65366493
>>65366762
huh. sounds pretty good but low quality so can't really tell that well. i feel like all of these songs will be better in the context of the album anyway
>>65365777
>>65365966
>And the Devil is 6
WTF!! how can i be the only one to notice??
>>65366869
Prediction: Frankie sinatra will be the weakest track, and will stick out like a sore thumb
does anyone have a high quality download for frankie sinatra yet? I only have the triple j copy
>>65366493
Thats pretty good
>>65366493
that's more like it! I stillthought FS was ok, subways sounds amazing, and wozard of iz seems like it has a way better beat it to it so I remain optimistic
>>65366493
Where did you find this shit? If stuff like this is out there maybe we can expect the full album to get leaked pretty soon.
>>65367537
>https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxhaoTW1ESL6NVpGRE1BWF9teVU/view
it was put up my mistake on itunes supposedly
Am I the only other person other than anon that unironically likes the new song
>>65366493
That is great.
>>65365777
/mu/ not only fell for this ruse, but argued for hours in an autistic fit of rage
Reminder that if you hate Frankie Sinatra but haven't listened to El Producto, your opinion is worth shit.
>>65367779
frankie sinatra is ok
but I don't really like el producto. the music is good enough but I don't like the rapper on it
some of their b sides are gr8 tho. everyday for example.
>>65367661
i thinks it's very good
>>65367661
i do
>>65366037
this is why I'm not listening until the album comes out
Anybody notice that doom is kinda mixed low? kinda hard to hear him
>>65367661
I like it too anon
>>65367661
it's decent but no more than that really. I can't get the mian hook out of my head at the minute, but the content of the raps aren't anything special, which you'd hope they were them being original content. still nice to hear Doom though
It's a weird song that seems to have grown on me after a few listens.
>>65367661
I like it... it is Avalanches banger
>>65367661
It's bretty good
>>65367779
I liked El Producto. I like Danny Brown. I like MF Doom. I still think Frankie Sinatra is shit.
>>65367967
That's sort of intended sine the whole Avalanches sound is grainy turntablism and layered samples clashing with each other. Try spotify instead of the video.
>>65367856
I'm listening to the Electricity EP rn because hype and because I never realized it was an alternate take + non-SILY tracks. Good shit.
I just can't believe people think Frankie is a new direction for Avalanches.
>>65367661
I like it, too. I'll admit I'm not a fan of the oompah-oompah beat, but the vocal sample and the Beatles/Favorite things breakdown is wonderful.
>>65367661
no, people don't like it because it "sounds like reddit" or because muh meme rappers
both of which are invalid reasons
>>65368106
oh ok thanks anon
>>65367856
>the music is good enough but I don't like the rapper on it
how dare u malign darren 'the cornerstone of the band since 20 hours ago according to /mu/' seltmann like that
>>65367661
I was disappointed at first but after I realized what it is and the type of track it is it grew on me exponentially with more listens, it's a pretty dope alternative hip-hop song. The sort-of cheesiness of the vocal hook's lyrics and melody wears off and it starts sounding good and it becomes a pretty enjoyable goofy banger.
>>65368129
god this board is retarded sometimes. people disliking a song because it sounds like reddit lmao what does that even mean
>>65368420
because rym called it electroswing therefore the avalanches are the new caravan palace and that music is for fedora tipping redditors unlike us cool dudes
>>65367967
It's because it was mixed loud and you're supposed to listen it loud, the beat has equal focus with the vocals. I agree they're both mixed a bit quieter than a typical rap track but you're supposed to listen to the album way up and drown in the sounds
>>65366493
This is beautiful. Like seriously this hav a very nice dreamlike vibe to it.
AOTD CONFIRMED
more gymnastics in this thread than in the Russian Olympic team smDH
>>65368710
???
https://avalanchesshop.com/
Is this website legit? Because I already ordered the LP from it before seeing the deluxe LP from the XL Recordings website. Now I feel like I've made a huge mistake.
>>65368879
Yes it's real you fag
>>65368879
You'll be getting the Australian version, which is p. cool. Shame about not getting the deluxe though, it didn't initially excite me but after seeing the inside it looks like it might be worth the extra coin
>>65368474
is that how their last album is supposed to be listened to? some loud ass headphones?
>>65369274
That's how I'd do it, yes. And make sure it's the Zomba promo
>>65365777
Bullshit how tf are you gonna quote something without a source dipshit
>>65369313
google you fucking clown clown clown
>>65369313
If you were listening to triple j last night you wouldn't need a source you faggot
>>65369313
literally took 5 seconds

>>65369306
Omg there are some samples I haven't heard and Where's my baby? Thanks for this version anon
>>65365777
oh fuck aotd coming
>>65365551
I was thinking they released the one with the most popular features
Fans of danny brown and mf doom who have never heard of the avalanches will want to check them out
>>65370161
This. Plus it has a mainstream appeal to it
>>65365578
This. Brown is big in the game right now and DOOM has a huge legacy.
>>65367661
I thought it was absolutely incredible. Nearly listened to it at least 10 times now.
>>65365551
can someone explain me what's interesting in that band? i didn't get it back then. that since i left u track was what motown, with a lil trip hop and mashup feel idk i can hardly remember their vibe. nice but come on... nothing to flip out about. maybe a critical of people were ready for this.
>>65370561
haha same I had to delete some last.fm plays because I just had it playing back to back. (Although they were spread out but still)
Listening to Frankie Sinatra while walking around the neighbourhood today was awesome. It made for a great summery feeling.
>>65365551
The new album is going to be good. The problem is that Since I Left You was such a perfect album that anything else is going to be a let down. I'm not even sure if I want another album honestly.
FRANKIE ME BOY
>>65370499
This desu DOOM brought me to the this track I would have otherwise ignored
>>65365999
The fucking trips on this thread
I would rather have Frankie Sinatra over a half-baked Since I Left You repeat
>>65371547
But instead we're getting Frankie and a more fleshed out SILY
i like the song
>>65366493
this is awesome
>>65366493
NO FUCKING WAY THIS IS AMAZING YESSS
>>65365777
this must be the song in the "since they left us" trailer
>>65365798
Haha what, Floridada is one of the best tracks on PW
>>65374043
yeah it's called "the wozard of iz"
>>65365610
floridada was the best track on that album
holy shit it really is a grower, just don't listen to the music video
>>65366493
can someone upload this to vocaroo?
>>65366493
Hey now, THAT'S more like it
