The Avalanches - Frankie Sinatra - General

[video=youtube;SjfspM5sDIA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjfspM5sDIA[/video] 16 YEARS [sp]feat. Danny Brown and MF Doom[/sp]

Is it sad I thought it was someone named Frankie Sinatra releasing a song called The Avalanche and not the other way around? Haven't heard from these guys in forever.

This is actually happening

Well that was...something! Guess it's time for me to check out The Avalanches' first album beyond Frontier Psychiatrist.

That's some wild fuckin kool-aid

Is this real life

that boy needs therapy

its actually happening according to /mu/: [QUOTE]INFO FROM THE TRIPLE-J INTERVIEW: On the album art: "We kind of drew it on a napkin one day"; "psychedelic"; "counterculture"; "we got a flag manufactured" Jean Michel Bernard collaborated on the album. Darren and Tony have only gone back to SILY a few times since 2000. "We weren't trying to be big or huge...[we were trying] to capture a feeling" The majority of the features were done remotely, with collabs sent in. The hardest track was "Frankie" (to mix). Sequencing "is kinda what took so long" They want to package up all of the other tracks they made that didn't make it to the album in a year. Father John Misty is on the album doing Beach Boys-y "textural" melodies in the background ("ooh-ooh-ooh") Toro Y Moi is on "If I was a folk star," track 6. It's about him doing LSD on the beach with his wife. They also collaborated with Jens Lekman and others (Luke Steele) but their tracks didn't make it onto the album Nick Cave is on a song with Warren Williams and Jennifer Herrema. Other features mentioned from the interview: Camp Lo Biz Markie Warren Ellis of Dirty Three Jonathan Donovue of Mercury Rev Danny Brown (more than one song) TRACKLIST: The Leaves Were Falling Because I'm Me Frankie Sinatra Subways Going Home If I Was A Folkstar Colours Zap!

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;50441429]since i left you is literally a journey, it feels like one big song when really its just really well put together[/QUOTE] I remember somewhere the band said the original idea behind the album was "an audio trip around the world", and it still feels a lot like that. A massive, exciting journey, from sea to air. [editline]2nd June 2016[/editline] Also the new song is awesome. I love the subtle little "these are a few of my favourite things" melody that plays near the end.

There was also a rap album with a fish on the cover, but I forget what it's called

Waited all day to listen to it on Triple J, 16 long years and they nailed it.

Nice to see DOOM crawled out from underneath his rock to provide a verse

I used to listen to it on my bus rides to-and-from Uni pretty often (along with Pantha du Prince's "Black Noise").

Hmm. I'm not into it. I hope the other stuff on the album sounds different.

danny browns voice fits perfectly with the beat

This is the type of beat that makes you strut with style down the street without you knowing it. [editline]2nd June 2016[/editline] Makes people look at you and think "That boy needs therapy".

Holy shit yes I need this bad

[B][I]FUCKING[/I][/B] MF DOOM OUTTA NOWHERE

[QUOTE=JgcxCub;50445119]Purely psychosomatic...[/QUOTE] What does that mean?! But seriously though, was this album over a decade in the making? Didn't they have any side-projects in the meantime?

Didn't like it, really. Feels so simple and straight-forward compared to SILY. I also got a Caravan Palace vibe from the cheesy do-wop beat and that's definitely not a good vibe to be getting. Praying for better tracks on the album.

I like it, but as srobins said it's too simple for what SILY did. SILY is a crazy complex album, whereas this is more of a controlled rap beat.

Man I love this shit, this is great

I don't know what everyone is complaining about, this is pretty good.
