When i was 15 i was listening to some music at my friends house on the new family stereo. The stereo was awesome. We didn't really give a shit about the quality of the sound, we cared more about the volume. I think we were listening to a Bush album. His dad walks in a gives us this CD - The Avalanches - Since I Left You... and says to us "hey, this is good shit". I looked at my friend and we said to his dad "yeah, we have heard them, they're cool" we were bullshitting, i had no idea who they were, and i had never seen an album with a cardboard cover. This was a turning point.
This is an album that helped me cross a genre border. The Avalanches rock my world. From their track Rock City to Undersea Community, which has a brilliant ending and superior sampling, to this album. I love their work, but am still waiting for their second album.
Frontier Psychiatrist is too complex to start to pick my favourite bits... But I always smile at the parrot bit. Now that is some great scratching.
"Can you think of anything else that talks, other than a person?
Uh ohh... uh oh, a bird! yeah!
Sometimes a parrot talks
Ha ha ha ha ha !!!!
Yes, some birds are funny when they talk
Can you think of anything else
A record, record, record !"
Crazy low budget videoclip too.
