Fresh Tunes of 2016: "Wildflower" by the Avalanches [album review]
2016 has hit the halfway mark with startling speed, but already we’ve been gifted some great albums by artists both old and new. Throughout the remainder of this year we'll be reviewing albums that any purveyors of tasty tunes out there would be remiss to skip. Check them out at your leisure, and let us know what you think.
The Avalanches - Wildflower
Sixteen years. Between their groundbreaking debut Since I Left You in 2000, and the release of Wildflower earlier this month, the world of music and beyond has changed. Many doubted that after such a long hiatus The Avalanches would ever release another album, let alone one of similar quality and sheer uniqueness.
Yet after all the delays and questions here we are with a new album, and it largely lives up to the considerable hype. Thousands of samples, everything from long forgotten movie dialogue to equally strange songs, are orchestrated together in a manner that gives a kaleidoscope of emotions for listeners to explore and enjoy.
Features from modern artists such as Toro y Moi, Danny Brown, and more appear here as well. Teetering between indie, hip hop, and something else entirely, this is an album to which you can either dance or dream. Nostalgia (particularly towards the 60s, 70s, and 90s), bliss, and sadness tinted with a healthy dose of psychedelia are somehow all swirled about into one cohesive sound, and it’s beautiful.
The first single "Frankie Sinatra" might scare off some initial listeners with its peculiar beat and carnivalesque tone, but within the album it flows much more naturally. The second and third singles("Colours" and "Subway" respectively), are more accessible as stand alones, but again this is an album that truly benefits from a straight play through. So get comfy, fire this baby up, and resist the urge to song hop as The Avalanches take you through another sonic sojourn as only they can.
Stand outs, in no particular order:
Because I’m Me • Subways • If I Was a Folkstar • The Noisy Easter • Harmony • Wozards of Iz • Sunshine

I’m Jefferey Vargas. My girlfriend ended our relationship for seemingly no reason and I came to understand that my financial struggles may have contributed to this, as a healthy relationship is difficult without money and aside from God, having more money is often seen as vital. For spell expertise, Lord Meduza is the right person to turn to. My girlfriend left me for another man due to my financial situation but after connecting with Lord Meduza he created a spell that not only brought my girlfriend back but also made me a lottery winner of €116 million by providing me with the 6 lucky numbers to play the lottery. Everything feels almost unreal but I assure you this is genuine and it’s occurring. My life is incredibly beautiful and I owe my deepest appreciation to Lord Meduza as his efforts are the epitome of excellence. I strongly encourage everyone to reach him and for enquiry visit: lordmeduzatemple.com or email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or WhatsApp this number +1 807 907-2687.
