· “Sorry we kept you waiting, it’s been a wild ride and at times
we thought we would never make it through. What kept us
going during the making this record was a belief in the day-today
experience of music as a life force - as life energy. Hearing
a certain song on a certain morning can change your day; it can
make the world look different, changing the way you perceive
light refracting through the atmosphere for the rest of the
afternoon. Literally changing the colour and feeling-tone of your
world.” - Robbie Chater, The Avalanches
· Following an unprecedented sixteen-year gap between albums
and all the revolutions the world has made since the release of
their hugely acclaimed, award winning debut album ‘Since I Left
You’ (2000), The Avalanches announce their new album,
‘Wildflower’, 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’s 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.

Deluxe LP comes with 8 panel gatefold, 2LP x 180 gram heavyweight black vinyl and a double-sided 4 panel poster (60cm x 60cm) + CD.
