Not huge on this song but it's got me on an Avalanches kick. What are some other plunderphonics artists/albums I should check out? Painfully new to the genre

AH FRANKIE SINATRA

>inb4 electro swing

lel

thanks. i'm digging this guy, had heard of him but never listened

OP, inb4 this thread becomes a bunch of green text arguments about plunderphonics and electro-swing...

Plunderphonics is not really a genre so much as it is an approach to making music. Some of the most popular plunderphonics records (Endtroducing, Donuts, Rounds) sound very little like one another in the same way that guitar-based music can sound wildly different.

SILY is essentially a dance record. As far as sample-based music with a similar vibe, though, I recommend checking out Vanilla's beat tapes—specifically Soft Focus and Sweet Talk. Be warned that there's nothing quite like SILY out there, though, especially in terms of the sample density of a track like "Frontier Psychiatrist".

lemon jelly is pretty good.

Onetri

This. Lost Horizons is by far their best.

Can also reccomend this album.

The messier objects
Your welcome

Thanks for clearing that up. Like I said, painfully new to the idea of plunderphonics. Basically I've heard SILY and Endtroducing and I guess I'm just fascinated with the approach to it--will definitely check out Vanilla tho

have heard lemon jelly, will dive deeper

have listened

thx bb

wat

listen to this if you want to be happy.

If you're just interested in the approach I also recommend albums like Replica by Oneohtrix Point Never and An Empty Bliss Beyond This World by The Caretaker—both are more ambient than anything else and the latter barely manipulates its source material (it's more about the arrangement/sequencing) but both are great and show different facets of what can be done with sample-based music.

Also if you liked Endtroducing check out Music By Cavelight by Blockhead. It's not as consistent and is pretty front loaded but it has high highs imo.

I don't get why people are freaking out over it. The single version of Frontier Psychiatrist sounded way fucking worse than the version on the album.

someone coined a name for a genre that literally means "stolen sound" amazing when you think about it.

>plunderphonics

How high are you?

Paul's Boutique

It's not quite plunderphonics, but it has an absolute assload of samples on it

Like someone else said, plunderphonics is about making music with samples and doesn't really describe any concrete sound so there's a pretty wide variety.

If you want outright pop music try Solex. I think the Go! Team might also be pop music but I haven't listened to them yet. Besides those two I can't think of any other pop music made from samples unless you think of SILY as that. For more sound collage try Negativland and People Like Us. John Oswald was the guy that coined the term so you can look into his stuff too.

Just saw above someone recommend Blockhead's Music By Cavelight as similar to Endtroducing and I would recommend that as well. Also try an album by the same artist called The Music Scene.

Den Sorte Skole is also one of my favorite groups in the genre at the moment. Their first two albums are similar to Endtroducing I'd say in that they're instrumental hip hop (though there is the occasional rapping) but their third and fourth albums move away from the hip hop sound while not becoming full sound collage.

>Paul's Boutique
If you listen to early Avalanches they sound a lot like The Beastie Boys, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Paul's Boutique was the single biggest influence on SILY or The Avalanches in general

Most Plunderphonics doesn't sound like The Avalanches, except for like DJ Shadow and the like. If you want to get into what most Plunderphonics sounds like, Negativland are a good entry point.

Anyone else think the horn instruments would have sounded better as synths?

ty, definitely like Blockhead, gonna try Negativland

What? It's exactly the fucking same. Only the vinyl version is different

Fucking hell that sample is grating and awful. What were they thinking?

I find the collective meltdown over this song pretty hilarious. I mean it's fine, nothing special but meh. But what the fuck were people expecting? SILY is literally an album that is entirely carried by amazing singles and fucking nothing else.

Hell, even Frontier Psychiatrist isn't that good a song in itself, the reason anyone remembers it is the video. Now Since I Left You is probably one of the greatest singles of the 00s, but I don't see how that alone would build up such hype for these guys in general

It gets stuck in your head real bad too.

Though it's been dislodged by Subways' sample, which is even more fucking catchy.

Would C2C be considered to have plunderphonics elements?

Haven't listened to them but from what I'm seeing they're turntablism, and turntablism generally uses lots of samples so you could consider them plunderphonics I guess.

In the Beats interview they said they really hated that sample too at first but that it grew on them after about 2 years.

handsomeboy technique is the closest I've come to rediscovering the SILY feel

Imagine working with the same samples for over a decade. "Ahh Frankie Sinatra" year after year.

It'd drive you fucking insane.

I think Darren was put in a mental institution because of that sample

AHHH FRANK SINATRAA

YOU WALK ON THE SUBWAY

I absolutely adore Mouth Silence by Neil Cicierega, it's sort of a comedy album but a lot of it is legit great, Rollercloser, Space Monkey Mafia and Piss are unbelievable.

yeah that's the only thing I think is close to SILY.

Anything can grow on you after that amount of time. That's the same reason people can put out completely shit music and think it sounds amazing.

This is actually really good

How can I listen to the interview that they did?

My nigga, HT is great.
