Thread for the new Avalanches album ONLY (WHICH IS NOT OUT YET) so all you shits can stop having tantrums when we bump the other thread

yep

the whole vibe of the current incarnation just sounds crowded-but-empty to me

when your medium is "sample collage", diminishing returns are almost inevitable.

the gee-whiz vibe is more of a dealbreaker for me than the reliance on samples tbh

ymmv obviously but I think we could use some gee-whiz right now

more like gee, whiz

*rimshot*

these two new songs are pretty boring but not actively dreadful like "running red lights"

Will this album have another “Saturday night inside out?” Is my only question cause that song is GREAT

xp they're sorta what I would expect from SPECIAL ALL STAR GUEST TRACKS

Wherever You Go recorded live in lockdown in collabo with the International Space Orchestra:

strong nostalgic burst seeing Tony play theremin again tbh

does any footage or even audio of the since i left you tour even exist? i've never been able to find any

I remember them playing in New York at SOBs in 2001 or 2002 with six turntables – I think I had a poster for the show, though who knows what happened to it!
