The Avalanches return with their first new album in 16 years. And there are no shortcuts. Throw in the usual long-delayed-album mix of bad equipment, poor health, perfectionism, and clearance issues, and who knows, maybe we’re lucky to get Wildflower, the first new Avalanches record in 16 years. It’s a music business truism that every sample-heavy instrumental act will eventually work with guest vocalists.

The Avalanches - Wildflower It's hard to think of something that has fallen so far out of fashion as turntablism. The practice is now at best a cultural artefact with increasingly niche interest groups. And yet turntablism's inherent musical qualities have become ubiquitous to the point of being implicit. That sort of diverse, evocative sequencing might be where Since I Left You concedes to Wildflower: this album tells a deeper story that only grows more vibrant with every listen. It's not all roses, though. Live vocals have long been purported to be a part of the second Avalanches album, not to mention parts of a record Chater has described as a "hip-hop Yellow Submarine," so the presence of Biz Markie, Ariel Pink, Danny Brown, Toro Y Moi and many others should be no surprise. But some of them do interrupt Wildflower's otherwise graceful flow.

Since I Left You, the 2000 LP that turned The Avalanches into minor musical legends, is an outlier in almost every respect. It’s a lengthy album, one that stretches out over an hour, but its seamless track-to-track glide makes it easy for the listener to get lost within the larger whole. The hundreds - or is it thousands? - of samples that make it up span the majority of the 20th century, but the finished product isn’t attached to any specific musical time period or scene. Wildflower takes you out into the world. I want to focus on Wildflower’s impressive opening sequence, the chunk of the album that actually improves on Since I Left You instead of replicating its successes with a slightly rosier tone. The older album is stuffed to bursting with hooks, but it’s unconcerned with structure, relying instead on repetition and density.
