I can't loving believe this is happening 15 years 15 years of waiting Who knows how many years of "I hope the avalanches finish this year". I remember thinking that around the time Random Access Memories was happening, and many times before. My god my god Edit: New track is alright. Helps that I loooooooove DB and MFD. I'd buy a copy even if it was nothing but fart sounds. I just need to know it's not a hallucination.

Creature posted:I just can't see them topping SILY. That was a perfect record. Yeah, if nothing else in a decade and a half did it I'm certainly not expecting them to just magic their way back into my life like that. Then again even the slim chance is enough to carry a a torch for. Obviously, as anyone here can attest lol.

Me too. Just to make absolutely sure: Everyone in here has heard "At last alone" and "When I met you" right? They're both mixes and they're both essential if you like SILY at all. WIMY is basically an alternate version of SILY, I've heard various stories about it's origins but whatever it is, it's must have.

Webbeh posted:I can't believe you'd talk mixes and not include Brains. Yeah true. On first glance, Brains is a more challenging mix with the feeling of a deep track. On second glance it has the Kojack cancellation protest song, which is the greatest song on Earth, and should be spread far and wide.

idk, I'm sure 16 years at least nets you some real gems for undiscovered samples no matter what else. Edit: I forgot how great Brains is for background work tunes

I was recently reminded that in an old interview Danny Brown called one of his Avalanches tracks "OK" and that other was going to change the world. Gotta assume Frankie is the former, not to poo on it too much.

SgtScruffy posted:Has it been discussed whether the album is going to be sample heavy? I believe they cited sample clearance as something that held this album up similiar to SILY, but god only knows when and where I read that.

Cool, I can listen to it at least. Don't know how to DL from there but I'm betting it'll proliferate soon. Thank you.

SgtScruffy posted:So the album is less "original-ish" tracks like Frankie Sinatra and more like Subways and Colours that sound more like where SILY left off? Yeah I'd say so, although there's ones that could qualify as either, there's a few different rap features. Impressions: - They're still impeccable bass line curators/choppers - it seems like a loose concept album with the same (as opposed to, a different) feeling as sily, like you're walking through a super weird city or block party - I can't tell if the late track that the sleepy jackson/empire of the sun guy is on is a sleepy jackson sample or just him - really glad they kept the "party crowd" background noise theme going, love that in sily - opinions on it are probably gonna live or die on whether you can stomach the occasional bout of non sampled people singing over your avalanches. - its more of a psychadelic and hip hop turn from them, but it sits nicely in the sily and big mix canon. Feel like "Brains" especially explains where their heads were for a lot of it. I put on daft punks electroma to stare at while listening and I forgot how great that is too. Edit: Early front-runner for sample that gets stuck in my head: "I'm livin at the YYYYYMCA" Intel&Sebastian fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Jul 1, 2016 |

http://pitchfork.com/news/66511-the-avalanches-reveal-all-about-the-samples-on-new-album-wildflower/quote:The song “The Noisy Eater” features a sample of the Beatles' iconic hit “Come Together,” the sampling of which was apparently directly approved by Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono. Perhaps the oddest sample discussed in the breakdown is in “Live A Lifetime Love,” which samples American Juggalo, a documentary about Insane Clown Posse. Edit: I agree with the NME review guy that it meanders at times, but feel safe throwing the rest of his opinions in the trash thanks to his very helpful note that he finds Frontier Psychiatrist "annoying".

http://pitchfork.com/features/interview/9912-the-avalanches-the-snow-must-go-on/quote:As far as samples, they started clearing stuff years ago, but then there would be some hold-up and they’d have to go back and renegotiate. People would give permission for us to use the sample, and then a certain amount of time would elapse and they would Google who the band is and be like, “Oh poo poo, I can ask for more money.” That sort of thing took forever. And it’s all sampled, really. There are the guest vocals and beautiful orchestration from [French composer] Jean-Michel Bernard, but every song is a sample-based song. quote:I heard that you said you’d like to put something else out in the next three years. Lots more in there but lol

After living with it for a while certain sections and tracks are growing (Harmony, Sunshine, Saturday Night Inside Out). Kaleidescope Lovers and Stepkids both sound like cut tracks from the "At Last Alone" EP and it weirds me out. I wouldn't be shocked to hear it's the same vocalist from songs like Slow Walking.
