The Avalanches' Since I Left You is awesome, awesome stuff!! Released in the early 00s, it's a bit like something Girltalk would do, but magical and more dreamy-sounding than the exercise friendy and high energy albums by Girltalk.
Part of the fun in listening to both artists is trying to see if you can hear (and identify!) the hundreds and hundreds of sampled songs they seamlessly fit into their songs....
See what just one of the many glowing reviews for Avalanches' album says:
| by MacKenzie Wilson | |
| Taken from the band's critical beauty of the same name, "Since I Left You" leaves listeners spellbound and in a summer dreamscape of lushness and simplicity. The Avalanches mix carefree soul inside breezy electronic breaks for the savvy first single. The B-sides are equally charming. "Everyday" tinkers with Latin tinges molded over robotic vocals, but, again, the spiritual freedom of the music itself is what's so great. "Thank You Caroline" doesn't fall short of that either. Waltzing along with delicate music-box-like ambience, the Avalanches are chic and ahead of themselves by incorporating hip-hop synth beats. They're masterminds. Electronica is a bit garish, but classic cool thanks to their own wizardry. The Since I Left You single is a delectable piece of ear candy and is certainly shimmery and pretty enough to clue in on what's next from the band. | |
