THE AVALANCHES - WILDFLOWER

Out July 8th!

FRANKIE SINATRA (EXTENDED MIX) STREAM HERE:
https://clyp.it/otl3s34o

INFO FROM THE TRIPLE-J INTERVIEW:

On the album art: "We kind of drew it on a napkin one day"; "psychedelic"; "counterculture"; "we got a flag manufactured"

Jean Michel Bernard collaborated on the album.

Darren and Tony have only gone back to SILY a few times since 2000. "We weren't trying to be big or huge...[we were trying] to capture a feeling"

The majority of the features were done remotely, with collabs sent in. The hardest track was "Frankie" (to mix).

Sequencing "is kinda what took so long"

They want to package up all of the other tracks they made that didn't make it to the album in a year.

Father John Misty is on the album doing Beach Boys-y "textural" melodies in the background ("ooh-ooh-ooh")

Toro Y Moi is on "If I was a folk star," track 6. It's about him doing LSD on the beach with his wife.

They also collaborated with Jens Lekman and others (Luke Steele) but their tracks didn't make it onto the album

Nick Cave is on a song with Warren Williams and Jennifer Herrema.

Other features mentioned from the interview:

Camp Lo
Biz Markie
Warren Ellis of Dirty Three
Jonathan Donovue of Mercury Rev
Danny Brown (more than one song)

This is the sound of a band running on empty. The sound of a group whose legendary status is pushed aside and instead replaced with a cheap imitation. The sound of a band not caring. The sound of a band striving to achieve yet ultimately failing horribly. The Avalanches still have a special place in my heart, of course, but Frankie Sinatra feels like a mockery of what they do best and an overall “fuck you” to the genre they helped define. What should have been a brand new creative peak for the band is instead a soft, quiet whimper. The Avalanches have many impressive, stellar, and unparalleled releases. This is definitely not one of them.
>>
>>65347932
>counterculture

There's nothing less counterculture than a poppy hip hop song. Fuck off memers
>>
What the fuck are these guys doing? They're ruining their legacy with this garbage NO STOP
>>
Before we get into discussing Frankie, anyone wanna take any bets on when this thing will leak? I'm gonna say given the intimacy of the label that it'll drop a lot earlier than expected. I say mid-June.

it's like the third song on the tracklist
>>
>>65348381
third*
>>
>>65348381
Even so, it's the obvious choice for a single.
>>
i say that frankie is clearly the frontier psychiatrist of this album. it's the lead single and it's meant to appease the masses so everyone should just calm themselves. these guys have only released one studio album, so it would make sense to at least give this group out of all the groups we've beared with the benefit of a doubt. it's the first track out of twenty we'll be hearing sooner than later.
>>
Does anyone know why avalanches decided to release a shit song to promote their new album? Seems counter productive.
>>
>>65348421
>>65348425

This is the extended mix, which is a bonus track at the end. I think a different version of this song will be in the album
>>
>>65348381
you're looking at the extended mix version of it, dude. frankie's actually the third.

I really didn't like the sound of frank. Please lord make the rest gucci

also frankie is really good so anyone hating on the album because of it should learn how to not be miserable contrarians

What are you talking about? Have you heard the album? Do you know what people mean when they say that this is the Frontier Psychiatrist? That track sounds nothing like the rest of the album and it was sent out by the band as a lead single -- given the samples we've heard from Subways, the same could easily be said about Frankie too.

Frontier Psychiatrist was a plunderphonics masterpiece with an array of obscure yet charming samples. This is a piece of shit with two bad, looping samples and hype-bait meme rappers over it.
>>
>>65348623

You're speculating to fit your preferred narrative. The other song could be the outlier. You're disappointed and trying to rationalise still being excited

>>65348525

>I'm digging it, it's clearly the Frontier Psychologist of the album.

This. You guys love to be hyperbolic. I think it's actually pretty interesting sonically. Far more interesting than other radio hits are. For what it is it's fun. They literally got MF DOOM on one of their tracks and anon are crying "0/10". Please.

I don't understand the people disappointed by the fact that there's hip-hop on an Avalanches track? How do you dislike the genre but like the group so much? Their sound and alternative hip-hop go hand-in-hand to such an extent that it's mindboggling that one could fall in love with that album yet hate it what dudes like Danny Brown or MF DOOM do.
>>

it's copypasta dude

It was also way more energetic and structured more like a hip-hop song as compared to the rest of the album. It was also the lead single.

I understand contrarianism is rife on this board but I'm reserving judgement about the album until I've actually heard the album.

>>65348809
If there was a group like Wu-Tang still relevant making music today, Since I Left You sounds like the instrumentals of a tape that group would've dropped in the early-aughts. That's how closely their music has always revolved around rap music. I think /pol/ has warped your teenage brain into being horrified of ever being called a cuck to ever enjoy the based lifestyle that hip-hop music can show you.

>Maybe you forget about the unprecedented sixteen-year gap between albums and all the revolutions the world has made during that time. Forget about Since I Left You perfectly capturing the hazy millennial zeitgeist and how the band’s rare live shows invariably ended in total chaos or broken limbs.

Constructed from woozy harmonics, infectious rhythm tracks and the dangled clauses of archival field recordings, Wildflower feels almost narcotic when followed from start to end (this is categorically not a record to play on shuffle). On repeated listens, the record gradually reveals a whole new world of hobo folklore, comedic pioneers and traveller musicians.

Wildflower – the album – is nothing less than a journey into a kaleidoscopic secret world of sound; a wormhole that leads to a place most of us didn’t even realize existed. It’s a timeless, untouchable, gloriously affectionate celebration of those musical mavericks who never gave a damn what anyone else thought.

Pretty good description

It's obvious that SILY had two sets of fans. Those who like hip-hop and don't.

Hip-Hop fans would love this, I love this song. I get that SILY fans that don't like hip hop won't like this single since there weren't any rapper features on SILY. But i doubt the whole album will sound like this. This still sticks to the plunderphonic sound if you listen carefully enough to the subtle use of sampling in the track.

8/10 track though i love it

>or are simply too young to remember, I don't expect you to understand why it's intensely triggering

I'm an oldfag. I remember. You are just getting emotional about passive entertainment. Either like it or don't.

I'd understand a younger kid doing this because we all did but mate if you're near my age then this isn't something you should still be getting this worked up over. You should've mellowed out a bit by now. What oldfag sincerely uses the words "intensely triggering"? The fuckin state of you, mate.

can someone explain to me why any-fucking-body on /mu/ listens to Avalanches, hypes Avalanches, or believes Avalanches are better than Coldcut?

Listen to "More Beats and Pieces" and shut the fuck up. Turn this garbage off for once you morons.

Why are Coldcut... and DJ Food... so underrated compared to these hacks?

Not the same guy, but I don't think it's incorrect to call it plunderphonics. I'd say about half of what holds that album together are the samples. Just because they're mostly non-musical doesn't mean it's not plunderphonics. Obviously not nearly as much sampling going on as on SILY, but most artists don't/can't use so many samples.

But you're just shitposting aren't you?
>>

because Coldcut and DJ Food have not been legendary cockteases for the past decade

they're excellent, but they're not cream-your-jeans-when-the-news-breaks hypeworthy, unfortunately.

The only elements it has of plunder is sampling, listening to the composition of the songs on their own and its a lo-fi ambient electronic album. To say that sampling = plunderphonics is totally ignoring the established style of plunderphonics

Fair point. But even with my limited use of 4chan this place is still a god awful shit hole. I only come to /mu/ for discovering new music but it's impossible to ignore and blank out all of the absolute god awful supposed "banter".

no fucking way, seriously. can you link or ss where it says thats gonna be the next album they give out?

it's going to be one of their special Member Store-only releases, like they did with Car Seat Headrest this month around.
>>
>>65349345
That said Avalanches are good, I just wanted to correct perceptions to where /pol/ needs them to be.

The new song sounds pretty fucking good. Compared to the Daft Punk comeback, this is 100X better. Having Doom there elevates it.

That said, listen to how they ripped off the "Peter and the Wolf" sampling from "More Beats and Pieces" with "My Favorite Things."

not to mention that would throw out this latest track by the avalanches

>>65349384
Yes. Because from the absolute ridiculous amount of hostile responses I've already had simply from posting it, it kind of proves my point. You aren't even willing to watch it or even consider how god awful this website is or how much it can potentially change you or damage you as a person.
>>
>>65349387
yeah, i wouldn't do that anymore
going to 4chan to find music at this point is like going to a dumpster to find dinner. yeah, what you find there might be food, but you're going to have to wade through a lot of rank shit to find it

DOOM's verse is good but it sound like it was recorded with a tin can 10 years ago

>>65349425
this honestly, although i liked both guests, Doom's vocal sounds like the nigga recorded off an iPhone and send the Avalanches the vocals via text message.
>>
DOOM really is the best hip hop artist that ever lived. Alongside maybe Kool Keith. Del? El-P?

I don't know. It's easy to forget how great hip hop used to be, and is capable of being, when you have faggots like Kanye and Drake shitting up the planet with their money crazed trash. Those guys and a lot of that trap stuff made me really resent and turn against rap as an art form.

This new track definitely has reminded me how great rap music has been and makes me really want to revisit some of my favorite hip hop albums, Dilla and Madlib too.

Probably because he consistently performs in front of bleeding-heart dipshits like you. And believe it or not, even I would rather perform in front of some down-home jigs than modern-day liberal whites.

>>65349458
Aesop Rock is up there in the top 10 imo. I can only dream of a DOOM and Aesop collab.

>>65349417
i know full well that this website is poisonous, that's why i spend 99% of my time off of it. everyone who uses this website is aware that it's cancerous bullshit.

it's like going up to a smoker, slapping the cigarette out of his hand and saying "THAT CAUSES CANCER." it's like, yeah, i know, i just don't care.
>>
It's pretty obvious that the music video took at least ten times more time and resources to make than the actual song. And that's pretty sad.
>>
>>65349458
Feeling those vibes as well. Although I personally wouldn't have Del or El-P on his level. I think they have great works but aren't as consistent as Doom.

Definitely a fun track all around

but the thing is, they are and have been from the moment they formed as a group, a hip-hop group. they were a rap act.

have you ever seen that documentary about the making of Since I Left You? the opening minute of it is literally footage of The Avalanches rapping onstage. this is nothing new and unexpected in any way.

Clearly you haven't seen the coverage of liberals losing their minds at Trump rallies, blocking highways and starting fights.
