Label GB

The Avalanches are an electronic music group from Melbourne, Australia. They are best known for their live DJ sets and debut album Since I Left You, which was created using approximately 3,500 vinyl samples.

Their name, the last of multiple one-off stage names from early in the band's career, was taken from the 1960s surf album "With The Avalanches".

Experience the unique sound and creativity of The Avalanches as they continue to push boundaries in electronic music.

An independent record label, XL Recordings was launched in 1989 by Richard Russell and his team. Originally an off-shoot of City Beat Records, XL quickly became known for releasing rave and dance music. Over the years, XL has grown to become one of the leading labels in the industry, managing a roster of talented artists including *Leah Riches*, *a6001996*, and *a60243*. In 1996, XL officially incorporated and became the copyright-holder of its releases. To celebrate their 15th anniversary in 2004, XL launched their XLXV series of re-issues. Today, they continue to thrive as a pioneering force in the music world.

Sixteen years since they left us with their cult sample-heavy debut 'Since I Left You', The Avalanches return with 'Wildflower', the 22-track follow up featuring Danny Brown, MF Doom, Father John Misty, Toro Y Moi, Jennifer Herrema, Biz Markie and more. Created by the band's core duo - Robbie Chater and Tony Di Blasi - 'Wildflower' is nothing less than The Beach Boys' 'Smile' reimagined in the Daisy Age; a mind-bending cartoon road movie that's best viewed with closed eyes and an open mind. Lead track 'Frankie Sinatra' is an infectious old world carnival inspired rollercoaster of a song. Featuring Danny Brown and MF Doom on vocals, the song also includes works by calypsonian Wilmoth Houdini and Rodgers &amp; Hammerstein. In the years since the release of 'Since I Left You' the album has established a rarely seen loyalty, its influence ever growing in the age of digital music, sampling and bedroom producers. The Avalanches, meanwhile, have become the stuff of folklore, with rumours abounding about a long awaited follow-up record. Today the rumours end.
