Sixteen years since they left us with their cult sample-heavy debut “Since I Left You”, The Avalanches return with “Wildflower”, the 22-track follow up featuring Danny Brown, MF Doom, Father John Misty, Toro Y Moi, Jennifer Herrema, Biz Markie and more. Created by the band s core duo - Robbie Chater and Tony Di Blasi - “Wildflower” is nothing less than The Beach Boys “Smile” reimagined in the Daisy Age; a mind-bending cartoon road movie that is best viewed with closed eyes and an open mind. Lead track “Frankie Sinatra” is an infectious old world carnival inspired rollercoaster of a song. Featuring Danny Brown and MF Doom on vocals, the song also includes works by calypsonian Wilmoth Houdini and Rodgers & Hammerstein. In the years since the release of “Since I Left You” the album has established a rarely seen loyalty, its influence ever growing in the age of digital music, sampling and bedroom producers. The Avalanches, meanwhile, have become the stuff of folklore, with rumours abounding about a long awaited follow-up record. Today the rumours end.
