Formed in Melbourne; noted for extensive use of samples and plunderphonic techniques; debut album Since I Left You (2000) and follow-up Wildflower (2016).

DeBaser reviews celebrate The Avalanches' sample-driven brilliance, calling Since I Left You a modern marvel and Wildflower a triumphant return after 16 years. Both reviews praise inventive sampling, lush arrangements and danceable moods. Overall: enthusiastic endorsement of their albums and production skills.

For:Fans of sample-based electronic music, listeners of inventive pop and danceable experimental music.

 Have I already mentioned it’s a miraculous album? That to return after sixteen years and still sound so fresh and classy, you need to be a bit of a genius?

 I call it a marvel because it is entirely based on samples (mind you, what really stands out is that they are clearly recognizable) but it manages to be truly organic and complete, more so than many other "played" albums.
