The Avalanches – ETOH
Biography
1. An Australian electronic music collective
2. A defunct American surf rock group
NOTE: The former band actually got their name from the latter, as The Avalanches’ “Ski Surfin’” album was known to be their favorite album.
1. The Avalanches are an electronic music collective from Melbourne, Australia. They are well known for their use of eclectic sampling, having creating their debut album, Since I Left You (2000), entirely out of over 3,500 samples of obscure records, movies, and television shows. This is famously demonstrated on their hit single “
Frontier Psychiatrist”.
Before this, they were a hip-hop group with the single album Rock City and the EPy El Producto. Currently, The Avalanches are appearing at outdoor festival events with a DJ set, and are reportedly working on new material.
2. The Avalanches was an instrumental surf rock studio group, active in the 1960s, which included Billy Strange, Tommy Tedesco, David Gates (later of Bread) and Hal Blaine. In 1963 they recorded an LP Ski Surfin’, which was re-released in 2007.

Am I the only one who thinks this album is overrated?

The Avalanches are not "under-rated". Not once have I seen someone rate them poorly as musicians. What you people MEAN to say is that they deserve more exposure.

Finally listened to SILY over a decade after its initial hype, it's a good album but I feel like you need to be in the mood for it. It's very summery. Maybe it'll hit even harder when it 100 degrees outside.

Well at least we got "A Cowboy Owerflow of the Heart"... Guess that is the most progress they had in 12 years. So be optimistic and patient it'll be out in 2033.
