The Avalanches know exactly what they're doing

The Avalanches know exactly what they're doing.

Think about it:

>Band goes 16 years without a followup album
>The idea of getting one amongst fans is almost mythical and cult-like at this point
>Band knows there's no way they can realistically exceed the expectations that come with 16 years of hype
>Announce the new album and purposefully put out a weird/lackluster single
>This single dampers the hype considerably but not totally by any means
>Once everyone's expectations have been lowered, release the album
>The rest of the album is amazing, and everyone loves it because it was way better than what they were expecting after the hype was killed by Frankie Sinatra

Absolute genius, honestly

They released it solely for its features, how does Sup Forums not realise this?

The same mental gymnastics AnCo fans used for PW.

Exactly - even more genius, they went for the two for one pleb punch, yet in context with the album Frankie Sinatra will still probably fit in perfectly

These guys planned for this shit

and TKOL pt 2 is on the way right :^)

Contrarian idiots who think these artists should pander to their tastes.

Except Floridada was promising

Reminder this isn't the song Danny Brown said would change the world


"I did one song with them a while ago and it was cool," Brown told Triple J. "They felt like it was OK and I felt like it was OK. But then we actually got in the studio and made a record and I swear the record we made is incredible. 'Frank Sinatra' was the first one we did. That was cool but the one we did after that... I swear, if we put that out, it'll change the world. I heard it that first night and that was the only time I heard it. I wanna hear it again!"

OP is right. Even they felt meh about but featured it as a single so the hype would die down.

compared to the rest of the album, it is very weak.

fucking digits speakin the truth!!

So why release a single that even the band members were iffy about? They makes no sense

777 of truth. Avalanches are pulling our leg

did you even read the OP friend?

Is there a chance that this single won't make it to the album?

did you read the FUCKING ARGUMENT????

AND GOD IS SEVEN

Its on the track listing but maybe there will be an alternate version or get scarped after reception finally sinks in

Trips confirm an elaborate ruse

but then why isn't it the album opener too? it doesn't make sense to have it 4th. OP debunked, get dunked (on) ;^)

I have a feeling the song itself is shit and is shit as a single but in context with the album and flow it'll make sense and be better.

The hype would be destroyed then, since the band would be equating it to SILY in importance.

well you've got to have a strong album opener, everybody knows that, but yeah the album gonna suck.

...

What do you think of this, a leaked bit of If I Was A Folkstar

drive.google.com/file/d/0BxhaoTW1ESL6NVpGRE1BWF9teVU/view

...can someone check this

It comes up as real if you shazam it, and it gets taken down if you put it on youtube.

Here's another link if you don't like google.
mp3toys.win/i/the-avalanches-if-i-was-a-folkstar/

huh. sounds pretty good but low quality so can't really tell that well. i feel like all of these songs will be better in the context of the album anyway

>And the Devil is 6
WTF!! how can i be the only one to notice??

Prediction: Frankie sinatra will be the weakest track, and will stick out like a sore thumb

does anyone have a high quality download for frankie sinatra yet? I only have the triple j copy

Thats pretty good

that's more like it! I stillthought FS was ok, subways sounds amazing, and wozard of iz seems like it has a way better beat it to it so I remain optimistic

Where did you find this shit? If stuff like this is out there maybe we can expect the full album to get leaked pretty soon.

>drive.google.com/file/d/0BxhaoTW1ESL6NVpGRE1BWF9teVU/view

it was put up my mistake on itunes supposedly

Am I the only other person other than user that unironically likes the new song

That is great.

Sup Forums not only fell for this ruse, but argued for hours in an autistic fit of rage

Reminder that if you hate Frankie Sinatra but haven't listened to El Producto, your opinion is worth shit.

frankie sinatra is ok

but I don't really like el producto. the music is good enough but I don't like the rapper on it

some of their b sides are gr8 tho. everyday for example.

i thinks it's very good

i do

this is why I'm not listening until the album comes out

Anybody notice that doom is kinda mixed low? kinda hard to hear him

I like it too user

it's decent but no more than that really. I can't get the mian hook out of my head at the minute, but the content of the raps aren't anything special, which you'd hope they were them being original content. still nice to hear Doom though

It's a weird song that seems to have grown on me after a few listens.

I like it... it is Avalanches banger

It's bretty good

I liked El Producto. I like Danny Brown. I like MF Doom. I still think Frankie Sinatra is shit.

That's sort of intended sine the whole Avalanches sound is grainy turntablism and layered samples clashing with each other. Try spotify instead of the video.

I'm listening to the Electricity EP rn because hype and because I never realized it was an alternate take + non-SILY tracks. Good shit.

I just can't believe people think Frankie is a new direction for Avalanches.

I like it, too. I'll admit I'm not a fan of the oompah-oompah beat, but the vocal sample and the Beatles/Favorite things breakdown is wonderful.

no, people don't like it because it "sounds like reddit" or because muh meme rappers

both of which are invalid reasons

oh ok thanks user

>the music is good enough but I don't like the rapper on it

how dare u malign darren 'the cornerstone of the band since 20 hours ago according to Sup Forums' seltmann like that

I was disappointed at first but after I realized what it is and the type of track it is it grew on me exponentially with more listens, it's a pretty dope alternative hip-hop song. The sort-of cheesiness of the vocal hook's lyrics and melody wears off and it starts sounding good and it becomes a pretty enjoyable goofy banger.

god this board is retarded sometimes. people disliking a song because it sounds like reddit lmao what does that even mean

because rym called it electroswing therefore the avalanches are the new caravan palace and that music is for fedora tipping redditors unlike us cool dudes

It's because it was mixed loud and you're supposed to listen it loud, the beat has equal focus with the vocals. I agree they're both mixed a bit quieter than a typical rap track but you're supposed to listen to the album way up and drown in the sounds

This is beautiful. Like seriously this hav a very nice dreamlike vibe to it.

AOTD CONFIRMED

more gymnastics in this thread than in the Russian Olympic team smDH

???

Is this website legit? Because I already ordered the LP from it before seeing the deluxe LP from the XL Recordings website. Now I feel like I've made a huge mistake.

Yes it's real you fag

You'll be getting the Australian version, which is p. cool. Shame about not getting the deluxe though, it didn't initially excite me but after seeing the inside it looks like it might be worth the extra coin

is that how their last album is supposed to be listened to? some loud ass headphones?

That's how I'd do it, yes. And make sure it's the Zomba promo

Bullshit how tf are you gonna quote something without a source dipshit

google you fucking clown clown clown

If you were listening to triple j last night you wouldn't need a source you faggot

literally took 5 seconds

Omg there are some samples I haven't heard and Where's my baby? Thanks for this version user

oh fuck aotd coming

I was thinking they released the one with the most popular features

Fans of danny brown and mf doom who have never heard of the avalanches will want to check them out

This. Plus it has a mainstream appeal to it

This. Brown is big in the game right now and DOOM has a huge legacy.

I thought it was absolutely incredible. Nearly listened to it at least 10 times now.

can someone explain me what's interesting in that band? i didn't get it back then. that since i left u track was what motown, with a lil trip hop and mashup feel idk i can hardly remember their vibe. nice but come on... nothing to flip out about. maybe a critical of people were ready for this.

haha same I had to delete some last.fm plays because I just had it playing back to back. (Although they were spread out but still)

Listening to Frankie Sinatra while walking around the neighbourhood today was awesome. It made for a great summery feeling.

The new album is going to be good. The problem is that Since I Left You was such a perfect album that anything else is going to be a let down. I'm not even sure if I want another album honestly.

FRANKIE ME BOY

This desu DOOM brought me to the this track I would have otherwise ignored

The fucking trips on this thread

I would rather have Frankie Sinatra over a half-baked Since I Left You repeat

But instead we're getting Frankie and a more fleshed out SILY

i like the song

this is awesome

NO FUCKING WAY THIS IS AMAZING YESSS

this must be the song in the "since they left us" trailer

Haha what, Floridada is one of the best tracks on PW

yeah it's called "the wozard of iz"

floridada was the best track on that album

holy shit it really is a grower, just don't listen to the music video

can someone upload this to vocaroo?

Hey now, THAT'S more like it
