Wildflower - The Avalanches

Wildflower - A new album from the influential Australian band The Avalanches

Sixteen years after the release of their critically acclaimed, award winning debut Since I Left You, The Avalanches return with their second album, Wildflower long-awaited album from the influential and genre-defying Australian band.

Created by the band’s core duo – Robbie Chater and Tony Di Blasi – Wildflower is like The Beach Boys’ Smile re-imagined: a mind-bending cartoon road movie that’s best viewed with closed eyes and an open mind.

The first single, “Frankie Sinatra,” draws from a variety of eras, cultures and genres, and exemplifies the rich tapestry of samples and sonics that is distinctly The Avalanches. An infectious, old world, carnival-inspired rollercoaster of a song, “Frankie Sinatra” features Danny Brown and MF Doom on vocals and masterfully weaves in 20th century works by influential calypsonian Wilmoth Houdini and the musical theatre team of Rodgers & Hammerstein.

The 22-track album features Danny Brown, MF DOOM, Father John Misty, Toro Y Moi, Jennifer Herrema, Biz Markie and more.
