The Avalanches are an Australian electronic music group formed in Melbourne in 1997. They are known for their studio albums Since I Left You (2000), Wildflower (2016), and We Will Always Love You (2020), as well as their live and recorded DJ sets. The group currently consists of Robbie Chater and Tony Di Blasi.
Three future Avalanches members formed Alarm 115 in Melbourne in 1994 as a noise punk outfit inspired by Drive Like Jehu, The Fall, and Ultra Bide. The line-up was Robbie Chater on keyboards, Tony Di Blasi on keyboards, bass and backing vocals, and Darren Seltmann on vocals. By 1995, Manabu Etoh joined on drums. The group bought instruments, recording gear and numerous old vinyl records by the crate at second-hand shops. When Etoh was deported and Alarm 115 disbanded, these records became the core of a new project. Chater was a film student at RMIT University and had access to a recording studio, which he and Seltmann used to turn the records into a 30-song demo tape labelled Pan Amateurs. In 1997 a new group consisting of Chater, Di Blasi, Seltmann, and Gordon McQuilten on keyboards was assembled to play the tracks live. Chater, Di Blasi and McQuilten had all been school mates in Maryborough. Starting in July, their first four shows were played under different names: Swinging Monkey Cocks, Quentin's Brittle Bones, and Whoops Downs Syndrome. The group became "The Avalanches" at their fifth gig, borrowing the new band name from an American surf rock band, which recorded only one album, Ski Surfin' with the Avalanches, in 1963.
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. 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. Chater estimated that Since I Left You was assembled from approximately 3,500 vinyl samples. The first Australian single from the album, "Frontier Psychiatrist", was issued in August, which peaked in the top 50 on the ARIA Singles Chart. 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.
The UK version of Since I Left You was released by XL Recordings in 2001, which debuted at No. 8 on the UK Albums Chart in April, and quickly topped 200,000 sales in the UK. Also that month, the first UK single from the album, the title track "Since I Left You", was released and debuted at No. 16 on the UK Singles Chart.
On 11 February 2020, the Avalanches posted a photo of a promotional billboard in Melbourne advertising a website. On the website, a video played containing several faint voices, followed by a Morse code message stating 'WWALY'. On 14 February, the website was updated with a second video containing another morse code message, this time spelling "20 FEB". Two days later on 16 February, the Avalanches posted a photo of a second billboard in London.
On 20 February 2020, the Avalanches released a single, "We Will Always Love You" featuring Blood Orange. With this release, they also confirmed their third studio album. On 18 March, they released another single, "Running Red Lights" featuring Pink Siifu and Rivers Cuomo from Weezer. The song is dedicated to David Berman and features lyrics from the Purple Mountains song "Darkness and Cold".
On 9 September, the band confirmed via an Instagram post that the title of their third album is We Will Always Love You. The album was released on 11 December 2020 and features contributions from Denzel Curry, Tricky and Jamie xx.

DUDE WHERES THE QNA U PROMISED?
hola como estas
What did you think of We Will Always Love You
I know I mentioned it but I just think it’s amazing and wanted to know ur opinion? I’m glad I appreciate their music
Hey your sellfy link doesn't seem to work
I swear to god this man is stalking me. He uploads talking about every album whenever I listen to it.
same though like i'm scared
i just listened to the album for the first time like a month ago and this is the first yt video i've seen about it, scary
I was literally just thinking about this album
@@donpylon5102 bro same i deadass listened to this album for the first time last weekend and heres this in my recommended
I was talking about since I left you and the avalanches yesterday..and this is the first thing I see :0
"They come from Melbourne"
Starts zooming into Darwin
Defs zoomed into Cairns/Rockhampton area rather than Darwin. But I still agree to the fact he’s a bit off with the location haha
@@matthewwilson6980 definitely had a couple too many when I wrote that haha,,, whoops
I didn’t think it was meant to be zooming in on anything other than the land mass.
@@tempsitch5632 you're probably right but it's still funny, it's also funny how I got wrong
@@matthewwilson6980He’s a bit off with the pronunciation too.
I put it in my will that the title track will be my funeral song.
As a total stranger, I would cry to that
Sick pfp rip DOOM
same
I've been thinking of playing Since I left you at my funeral too!
This album is absolutely exceptional. It makes me feel things that few other projects can.
That album cover is sick
And the best thing about it. It´s sampled too. Pretty fitting for the album
It's from a painting called "The Sinking of the USS President Lincoln on 31st May 1918" by Fred Dana Marsh
I like you Phillip 🤝
I like your comments bandcamp 🤝
thanks for putting me on to the avalanches in the first place bandstand🤝
Lmao
That’s cute
Your video on SILY is one of my favorite videos on this site. Thank you for all you do
I’ve never heard an album like this one. It feels like I’m listening into music made in another dimension. The only other album that makes me feel like this is Cosmogramma.
Both albums fit snuggly into my top 5
@@enzyme3254 lol you obviously have a great taste in music. I’m curious, what else is in your top five? I’d really like to hear another album like these.
@@benjammin8919 ha well my top 5 spans quite a few different genres but it would look something like this
1. Since I left you - the avalanches
2. Close to the edge - Yes
3. Songs in the key of life - Stevie Wonder
4. Cosmogramma
5. Madvillainy - Madvillain
If somehow you haven’t heard J Dilla’s Donuts before that would be a great one if you love Since I left You
@@enzyme3254 I love all those albums!
My top 5 is constantly changing, but right now it would be:
5. Lonerism - Tame Impala
4. Aja - Steely Dan
3. Cosmogramma
2. Revolver
1. Since I Left You
And I love MF DOOM and Dilla too!
@@enzyme3254 oh and I forgot Pink Floyd - Animals. That would probably be in my top 5
YES FINALLY A PLUNDERPHINCS BREAKDOWN, DO DJ SHADOWs ENDTRODUCING NEXT
What does your soul look like 👀
@@CheeksOfButt PART 1 IS MY JAM, and STEM/LONG STEM??????? AHHH MAN MY FAVORITE ALBUM
nothing like volksgeist before i go to sleep
I can't believe this album is 21 years old...I used to listen to in when I was a kid thanks to my parents. And here we are, two decades later and still it doesn't have the recognition it deserves.
4:52 Actually, a version with non-cleared samples was released in Australia first, and then a year later they collaborated with a british record company to release it worldwide with less samples (due to copyright issues).
It’s called the Zomba release
hi tucks
@@huntrrams Correct.
@@thugtearsofficial1337 Hi glitch-gay!
I almost choked when I saw this in my feed! This is easily my favorite album of all time. I’ll go to listen to the title track and end up listening to the whole thing all over again because I just don’t want to turn it off! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! ❤️
Probably the best Australian album ever made, in my opinion. And honestly, we actually have a pretty amazing music scene here in Australia, obscure as it may be to the rest of the world.
Currents also exists but this one is insane too
@@santosmedina4248 “currents” is good. But common it’s “Since I Left You”.
Yep!
What should I cover next??
i'd personally love a video on SOPHIE and the effects she's had on the music scene, especially after her death
Lord Huron "Strange Trails" album
If u want to continue plunderphonics I would love a DJ shadow/endtroducing video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nick Drake
SOPHIE
I love the Avalanches and they pretty much change how sampling can make something original and interesting! Their album inspired many artists.
The dialogue from Frontier Psychiatrist is from the John Waters movie Polyester.
i believe that's just the beginning sample; there are over 30 samples from other films, tv shows, and obviously songs, and that one isn't used throughout the whole song.
tripping shrooms to this album changed how i think about music forever.
Hell yeah, my dude
Same but LSD and Wildflower
@@elephrain Wildflower? *edit: nvm, just found out that it's an avalanches album
gotta say, avalanches info is hard to find so good job man. now finding the sample that they used is the real trick, even Bandcamp couldn't do that.
Didn’t realize until now but this is probably my favorite album ever. Nothing else puts me in a good mood like Since I left you I’ve listened to it maybe hundreds of times and can’t ever see it falling off for me
This has been one of my favorites since it debuted. Never knew much about the group or how the music was produced. Thanks for this.
Loved learning more about one of my favorite albums. Super well done.
thank you for this! one of my favorite albums of all time and i’m glad it’s still getting love 20 years later
This album is my favorite album of all time. Just so masterful and unique and fun, love this video.
Have loved this album for a long time, learned a lot! thank you for such a high quality video, you’re killin’ it dood
I can't wait till my videos up here! Excellent work!!! 🌹🌹🌹
Thanks for uploading this video. You're content is always amazing!!! I've heard of The Avalanche but never listened to them . I checked them out they're incredible. Keep on posting that great content!!!
it is truly special, and like nothing else. the transitions, reoccuring samples and sounds throughout the album feels like every track is related to each other, and a part of a big cohesive whole. as if the album is a soundtrack to this very obscure and dreamy dance musical happening in the setting of a cruise ship somewhere on the ocean. It's bombastic, eclectic and has an otherworldly vibe about it. full of life and character. 10/10
Beautifully written, especially the cruise ship bit.
Even though this is 2 years old, it's about time someone made this video. Such an incredible and well put together album.
Amazing looking at how their influence has carried over but it's almost frightening to see you mention or dive in to every album I'm listening to, if you go over endtroducing for whatever reason I'll have to file a restraining order haha. Keep up the sick content!
A magical album. Thanks for covering it
yo the visuals/3d animation on this video was sick asf
Your production value seems like it’s skyrocketed! One of your best yet
This album is SO GOOD, omg
Thank you very much for releasing this video - it really got me into the avalanches
So excited to watch!!
another fantastic Volksgeist video
I’ve listened to the new Avalanches album and thought it was very intriguing. Thanks to this video, listening to their discography is on my to do list
perfect timing. i've been listening to this masterpiece all week
YES. A video on my favorite album of all time. I haven’t even started watching the video yet, but bravo.
Very nice high quality video! Cheers from Canada.
One of the greatest albums of all time. It's timeless
"Granny kazoo, let's have at you! Now when I count three!"
Love the animations!
I literally listened to this album for the first time like 5 days ago, this is spooky
This album clicking is unlike anything else in the world
yooo i found out this album existed like a month ago and now you make this video vro
Has been my album for running after work for years.
only recently got into this album. very cool.
THANK U!!! this album is already legend status to a lot of people but it needs mORe
Good documentary! It put the profound reason why this album changed my life forever and is so much part of me to this day. 💖🌍🎛🎧🎶
“Every sound feels like a treasured memory,” is a very accurate way to describe the sound of The Avalanches❤
Ow yeah i can't forget the first time i heard it .. i forgot that music could convey that kind of emotions .. just straight out of heaven
Psychedelic masterminds..
Thanks for putting me on. This is amazing.
Hey, can you on subtitles pls. I am russiain and my english is not very good to watch this.
upd: thanks
Opinion on Putin?
Ooh Aah... Haven't listened to this in awhile. Gonna dig it up tomorrow.
Love this album. Great video representing them.
So, the lawyers caught up with the art, no more art. Thanks lawyers.
this is one of the best albums ever produced, the amount of sampling and electronic techniques, and at the same time the density of many of the songs makes that every time I listen to it I appreciate more the details in its production, and beyond that, it is simply a MASTERPIECE.
Aside from one or two tracks, they've never reached the heights of the album Since I Left You. Frankie Sinatra and I'm Me.
Personally, none of the songs on Wildflower really clicked for me. But We Will Always Love You is another masterpiece.
if you haven't heard the 19 track version with Be My Baby after Stay Another Season you're missing out!
Frontier Psychiatrist is lowkey the BEST song I've ever heard
Best modern psychedelic band
Art of Noise, Coldcut,De La Soul, Dust Brothers, DJ Shadow...
I was just listening to this album while studying last night. What a coincidence!
One of my favorite albums of all time. Definitely in my top 10.
Great interpretation!!
That cassette tape has a song by my all time favorite musician jason Molina from while he was under the name Songs: Ohia. To any music fan I highly recommend the music of jason Molina, starting with Songs: Ohia.
The 3D graphics are a BIG move. Amazing vid.
Everyone needs to check out the g mix. It's the full version of since I left you. The record company removed some of the more obvious samples to avoid lawsuits. It was a cassette mixtape that circulated around Australia before the censored version of the full album was released
This video came out at the best time
those animations are cool as hell
The standard of music essay visuals
This video is an entire experience
As a vaporwave artist this is very inspiring! Great content
The title track is one of the greatest songs of all time
The best album ever made
lol, placing Melbourne where Cairns is located is like calling Boston "New Orleans".
Famous, not infamous
This is my favorite album of all time
I'd like to hear your take on Quantic's album, "Mishaps Happening." Not a pure sample exercise like Since I Left You, but it gives me the same mysterious chills.
Do wildflower after please omg I love that album
The best plunderphonic album
Easily one of the greatest albums ever
my favorite album of all time
Was just listening to avalanches last night
It blows me away how few people know the avalanches, everybody is missing out
Amazing
wow excellent samples my kinda music
It's the perfect plunderphonic album
Hey, you said “and there’s one thing I almost forgot to mention” during the ad.
excellent
Them and Bent were the last of the great sampleholics who saw the 90s out into the 2000s.
Have you ever listened to Teenage FilmStars? Early 90’s shoegazish MPC nonsensical electronic/guitar music that is rumored to be an Alan McGee project? It has a similar mythology as the Avalanches...and it has some good hooks too.
Made by myself and an AKAI professional.
What is the sample that can't be found? I've researched this album a lot and i've never heard heard of that...
As far as I know it's the piano from Tonight
Etoh is sublime.
11:05 "experimented with live vocals and lyrics for the first time"
EL PRODUCTO EP, boss
1997
Pre-SILY
I like all of the words you said and And I am influenced by the avalanches in this style very heavily and now I feel justified
