Template:Short description Template:About Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use Australian English Template:Infobox musical artist

The Avalanches are an Australian electronic music group formed in Melbourne in 1997. They have released three studio albums, Since I Left You (2000), Wildflower (2016), and We Will Always Love You (2020), and perform live and recorded DJ sets. The group currently consists of Robbie Chater and Tony Di Blasi.

The band is an exponent of the plunderphonics genre, and their first album, Since I Left You, has been recognised by many critics as the most important example of the genre.

2000–2004: Since I Left YouEdit

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}} From mid-1998, the Avalanches had been recording their debut album, initially under the working title Pablo's Cruise. In February 2000 they finished mixing it at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne. Its initial launch date in 2000 was delayed due to the need for sample clearances and overseas interest.<ref name="Perrone"/> By July, with the album, now titled Since I Left You, overdue, Chater's Gimix cassette was made available. This mixtape blended previews of forthcoming album tracks with some band favourites. The first Australian single from the album, "Frontier Psychiatrist", was issued in August, which peaked in the top 50 on the ARIA Singles Chart.<ref name="aus-charts">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> It reached No. 6 in Triple J's 2000 Hottest 100 countdown, the world's largest annual radio music poll. In October the band undertook their first Australian headline tour, appearing in all capital cities. All dates were completely sold out. Seltmann broke his leg in Brisbane in an on-stage collision with bassist and singer Di Blasi.

In November 2000, Since I Left You was launched in Melbourne with a boat cruise party aboard the Victoria Star, through Port Phillip Bay, with The Face and other UK media flying to Australia to cover the event. The band won six Australian Dance Music Awards. They travelled to the UK for a three-week promotional stint, including DJ sets at the Social and Fabric Nightclubs, while their remix of Badly Drawn Boy's "The Shining" was released in the UK. Chater estimated that Since I Left You was assembled from approximately 3,500 vinyl samples.<ref name="soundonsound">Template:Cite news</ref> One notable example is a sample of Madonna's "Holiday" on the track "Stay Another Season".<ref name="SinceILeftYou">Template:Cite AV media notes</ref><ref name="Schwartz">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

2005–2019: WildflowerEdit

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}} The Avalanches had been working on their second album since at least 2005. Seltmann had said the album was starting out as "ambient world music", but it was still moving in different directions and would feature both samples and live music.<ref name=tj2005>Template:Cite interview</ref> Chater later revealed that Seltmann had left the group by 2006, "we stopped working together... I was always making stuff and getting on with it, and the new record wasn't materialising quickly. He had a kid, a family, and I guess he realised before I did that it was going to take a long time."<ref name="Faster July 2016">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Subsequent announcements were made of the album's release, however, it had not appeared by December 2011.<ref name="Barrett">Template:Cite news</ref> Other artists began to announce having worked with the band on tracks around that time.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="ariel">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In February 2014 Modular Recordings confirmed Seltmann had left, stating "officially the band is Robbie Chater and Tony Di Blasi right now."<ref name="hsun">Template:Cite news</ref> The band's official Facebook page was updated in 2015, listing James Dela Cruz had rejoined.<ref name="officialfb">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

LegacyEdit

The band has been noted as an important pioneering example of plunderphonics, with one reviewer referring to them as the "legendary plunderphonics powerhouse".<ref>Template:Citation</ref> Their first album, Since I Left You released in 2000, has been highlighted as influential,<ref name=":1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> a masterpiece<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and a particular iconic example of the genre.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The album has been noted for the large amount of samples it uses,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> around 3500,<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0">Template:Cite journal</ref>and the fact it is entirely made of samples with no live music.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> It was also noted for its complexity and the use of dialogue samples.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The album has been described as incredibly complex, and even dadaist.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Since I Left You has appeared on various top examples of the Plunderhouse genre,<ref>Template:Citation</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and has also been described as one of the three pivotal plunderphonics albums, along with DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing in 1996,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and J Dilla's Donuts in 2006.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

A number of music critics, including Volksgeist, Amar Edirwira writing for VinylFactory and others regard Since I Left You as the best plunderphonics album of all time.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Citation</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

It's been noted by legal commentary that the small size of samples used by the Avalanches in their work may not cross the threshold of being significant, which would then allow for a legal case to be brought by the original sampled artist.<ref name=":0" />

Live performancesEdit

Template:More citations needed section The Avalanches, initially, played live using samplers, analogue keyboards, bass guitar, drum kit, and theremin.<ref name="soundonsound"/> Their set-up later included four turntables, a percussion stand, and a battery of MIDI-controlled special effects.<ref name="soundonsound"/>

The band performed at festivals during 2000–2001, including the Big Day Out, Falls Festival and V1. For their European live tour, Peter "Snakey" Whitford was used as a touring percussionist, he had previously played in the Afro Psych band Prophecy throughout the Indonesian islands. Seltmann broke his ankle during the band's Electric Ballroom show in London, while Dela Cruz suffered a concussion on-stage at the V2001 festival. The remaining live dates were DJ sets with Chater only. Despite this, the band eventually received the Best Live Act 2001 award from MUZIK magazine. This format continued for the United States and Japan Since I Left You Tours. Chater, Dela Cruz and Fabay also took the DJ show around Australia, calling themselves the Magic Midgets.

The Avalanches continued DJing at Australian festivals such as Golden Plains and Splendour in the Grass throughout 2006 and into 2007, although these sets were a return to a heavier, club sound and markedly different from the previous Brains' DJ sets. The group returned to live performances in 2016, with a performance at Australian music festival Splendour in the Grass. Their live setup feature Chater on bass and Di Blasi on turntables, alongside guest musicians Paris Jeffree on drums, Spank Rock as MC, and Eliza Wolfgramm on vocals.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In May 2017 The Avalanches curated The Avalanches – Since I Left You Block Party as part of Sydney's Vivid LIVE festival.<ref name="vividlive.sydneyoperahouse.com">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Playing outdoors at the Sydney Opera House, The Avalanches headlined and were joined by 'special guests' DJ Shadow, Briggs, Sampa the Great, Jonti and DJ JNETT.
