The Avalanches - Wildflower ALBUM REVIEW [Cache Saturday]

Cache Saturday is a series of unranked reviews where I’m gonna catch up on albums I’ve listened to, whether it’s for the first time or not. I’ll also cover new albums I’ve missed from earlier or were cut from my schedule. Also, they’ll all be done in one paragraph. This week’s entry is the comeback (at the time) of one of the most beloved electronic and plunderphonics groups ever, The Avalanches, with their second album, Wildflower.


For those that don’t know, plunderphonics is a subgenre of electronic music where songs are entirely composed of samples, and The Avalanches are masters of their craft. Their most recent album, We Will Always Love You (which celebrates its first anniversary today), actually earned the Cordavision brand’s first perfect score. If I’m being honest, The Avalanches has one of the best discographies of any band working right now. Wildflower is the feeling of that one summer you don’t want to end wrapped in one album. The beat on “Frankie Sinatra” with Danny Brown and MF DOOM, probably my favorite song off this, feels like one of those electro-swing songs you find on YouTube or a psychedelic carousel ride. I could go on and on, but like the rest of The Avalanches’ albums, Wildflower is an album for the ages and if you can’t enjoy it, it can still be admired for how impressive it truly is.
