Fresh Tunes of 2016: "Wildflower" by the Avalanches [album review]
2016 has hit the halfway mark with startling speed, but already we’ve been gifted some great albums by artists both old and new. Throughout the remainder of this year we'll be reviewing albums that any purveyors of tasty tunes out there would be remiss to skip. Check them out at your leisure, and let us know what you think.
The Avalanches - Wildflower
Sixteen years. Between their groundbreaking debut Since I Left You in 2000, and the release of Wildflower earlier this month, the world of music and beyond has changed. Many doubted that after such a long hiatus The Avalanches would ever release another album, let alone one of similar quality and sheer uniqueness.
Yet after all the delays and questions here we are with a new album, and it largely lives up to the considerable hype. Thousands of samples, everything from long forgotten movie dialogue to equally strange songs, are orchestrated together in a manner that gives a kaleidoscope of emotions for listeners to explore and enjoy.
Features from modern artists such as Toro y Moi, Danny Brown, and more appear here as well. Teetering between indie, hip hop, and something else entirely, this is an album to which you can either dance or dream. Nostalgia (particularly towards the 60s, 70s, and 90s), bliss, and sadness tinted with a healthy dose of psychedelia are somehow all swirled about into one cohesive sound, and it’s beautiful.
The first single "Frankie Sinatra" might scare off some initial listeners with its peculiar beat and carnivalesque tone, but within the album it flows much more naturally. The second and third singles("Colours" and "Subway" respectively), are more accessible as stand alones, but again this is an album that truly benefits from a straight play through. So get comfy, fire this baby up, and resist the urge to song hop as The Avalanches take you through another sonic sojourn as only they can.
Stand outs, in no particular order:
Because I’m Me • Subways • If I Was a Folkstar • The Noisy Easter • Harmony • Wozards of Iz • Sunshine

It’s a great pleasure for me to write this testimony about how I got my Genital Herpes cured a month ago. I have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from various diseases by Dr Oliver but i never believed them. I was hurt and depressed so I was too curious and wanted to try Dr Oliver. Then I contacted him through his email, he assured me 100% that he will heal me, I pleaded with him to help me out. My experience with him was great, he healed me just as he promised. He sent me his medication and asked me to go for a medical check up after two weeks of usage. I agreed with him. I took this medication and went for a check up, to my greatest surprise my result was negative, i am really happy that I am cured and healthy again. I have waited for 3weeks to be very sure I was completely healed before writing this testimony. I did another blood test one week ago and it was still Herpes negative. so i guess it’s time i recommend anyone going through the same way. reach him through his email address: Droliverherbalcenter@gmail.com you can also Text Him on WhatsApp +2348110493039
I came across testimonies of Dr. Oliver on how he has been curing different people from different diseases all over the world, then I contacted him. After our conversation he sent me the medicine which I took according to his instructions for up to 21 days. After completing the medication I went back to my doctor for another test and the virus was all gone and i was completely cured, since then i have not had any signs of outbreak. I’m so filled with joy. With herbal medication Herpes Virus is 100% curable. I refer Dr. Oliver to everyone out there with this virus.
