Avalanche - "Frontier Psychiatrist"

The Avalanches Official Site
It's been TWELVE YEARS since they've put out an album. There official site states that something special is going to be announced. They've been working on an album since 2005 that "its so fuckin party you will die, much more hip hop than you might expect...".
Being a BIG fan of The Art of Noise, Negativland and the short-lived Emergency Broadcast Network, The Avalanches instantly became a staple of my ear's diet back in 2000.
While they're not new, their album, Since I Left You, is one of my all-time favorite things to listen to simply because it's comprised of samples and 'found-sound' clips. Those that've followed this blog for any length of time know that I'm a HUGE sound design nut. When someone takes random samples and creates something like The Avalanches did in 2000 (it is CONSTANTLY listed in "Best of" lists overseas), it just shows how fun music can be!
Enjoy the only two videos actually created for 'Since I Left You'...both are two of my favorite music videos because of how insanely unique they are.
If you've never heard of The Avalanches? You're welcome.
Enjoy!
