The Avalanches Are Back! Here's Why That's a Big Deal
FUSE TV - The Avalanches Are Back! Here's Why That's a Big Deal
We don't blame you for being all "Who the heck are the Avalanches??!?" on this glorious spring morning. After all, the Australian electronic collective only released one album, and that album was released in November 2000, back when Al Gore and George W. Bush were still fighting over Florida. That's a long time ago!
Yet the Avalanches' debut album Since I Left You represents one of the defining (if not THE defining) Napster-era release, a pastiche of samples blended together in such a personal way that the technologically enhanced tracks sounded downright intimate. It's also just an absolute blast to listen to, from the sunny dance-pop of "Since I Left You" (it opens the album with the declaration "Welcome to paradise!") to the joyfully bizarre shouting match of prescriptions that is the single "Frontier Psychiatrist." Pitchfork named it one of the 10 best albums of the 2000s; Questlove said it was one of his 10 favorite LPs ever. Smarter people have written sharper things about the importance of Since I Left You over the past decade and a half, but part of the reason why the Avalanches are still a big deal is because Since I Left You really is that simultaneously crowd-pleasing and innovative.
