The Avalanches

sydney

Thought that this would be news on the second album, oh well

Also, just found out now that Darren Seltmann left the group, which pretty much leaves them as a duo right now

$10 pasta all day!

$10 pasta all day!!!

how do people exist in and out of a "group" that hasnt done anything in 15 years

I think it basically depends on what works best for maximising dole payments

that hasnt done anything in 15 years

Six months, tbf.

In all seriousness that sounds like it could be a v fun/funny Sat night

ugh

I know, I know, it's nothing, but their site, Facebook and soundcloud have all updated their main images to this:

"There is so much stubborn hope in the human heart. The most destitute of men often end up by accepting illusion."

They're planning a twitter war with Kendrick Lamar this time?

Fuck this album. I don't even want to hear it anymore.

from their theavalanches.com site which is still regularly updated:

"M A R C H > U P D A T E

NEW ALBUM -
exploration into sampled inner space continues, and is sounding damn exciting from all reports. the band would like to thank everyone for their patience and ongoing support. "sorry its not done sooner but theres no point in putting out an insane half finished mess" is the general feeling in the camp. recording is proceeding much quicker than with the first album believe it or not - its just that no one was waiting on that one.

DJ set or real live 'performance', I wonder

http://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/apr/13/avalanches-confirm-first-live-shows-in-15-years-as-splendour-in-the-grass-announces-lineup

"There is no new information on whether the Avalanches’ tour will be accompanied by the long-awaited second album..."

"Over the years the Avalanches has lost four members – including founding member Darren Seltmann, turntablists Dexter Fabay and James De La Cruz and keyboardist Gordon McQuilten – leaving only Robbie Chater and Tony DiBlasi in the band, although this line-up has not been confirmed since 2014."

de la Cruz is a great party DJ but was a keyboard player in the Avalanches

Supposedly, a music video was being shot just over a week ago for the single "Frankie Sinatra", which has been rumored to be the Danny Brown collab. Some members of a New Orleans brass band were involved and one of them posted some pics on Instagram, but either removed most of them or at least removed any mention or the Avalanches. One of the removed pictures was this patch which seems to go along with the whole Butterfly motif of the logo on their page. Also, a few days before the music video, the song "Frankie Sinatra" had been added to the APRA database with additional credits going to Rodgers and Hammerstein and Houdini, which has been assumed to refer to Wilmoth Houdini and is likely sampling his song Bobby Sox Idol.

Well, something is going on...

See, all this potential interest and goodwill and they piss it away with the inclusion of Ariel Pink and Father John Misty.

They said (years ago) that the new stuff was v hip-hop, offputting guest appearances included I guess.

You'd hope that this would precede a second album but to be honest I don't think I care anymore

At least they're taking the piss well enough. New audio bits in the video seem interesting!

the hype surrounding these guys is real weird to me. i feel like ppl see this group as some sort of genius artistic studio production team rather than just turntablist bros. like the one huge hit song was just a dude's competition entry.

Frontier Psychiatrist is a total outlier on Since I Left You Though

yup, i love this album but that song sucks hard. always skip it.

i don't really impart any ideas of "genius" or whatever on the guys who made the album, i just think it's a dope album. i guess ppl who write about music for $$ have to make up shit like that, though.
