Australian production collective The Avalanches' 2000 album Since I Left You was a crowning achievement in the field of plunderphonics. Their first album since, Wildflower, is set to officially release on July 8th. If you live outside of Europe, is now available to stream on Apple Music.
Here's what group member Robbie Chater has said of the 16 year hiatus: "What kept us going during the making the record was a belief in the day-to-day experience of music as a life force - an energy capable of changing your life. Hearing a certain song on a certain morning can change your day; it can make the world look different. It can change the way you perceive light refracting through the atmosphere for the rest of the afternoon. Literally changing the colour and feeling-tone of your world.”
Wildflower includes 21 tracks and features from Danny Brown, MF Doom, Toro y Moi, Camp Lo, Biz Markie, and more. Pre-order the album on iTunes and stream it below via Apple Music.
