WEB: The Avalanches We Will Always Love You review: Frontier psychiatrists get back in the saddle
The Avalanches are back with their first album in seven years, We Will Always Love You, and it's a triumphant return to form. The Australian electronic music duo have always been known for their eclectic and sample-heavy sound, and this album is no exception. We Will Always Love You is a sprawling and ambitious work that draws on a wide range of musical influences, from hip-hop to soul to psychedelia.
The album's title track is a perfect example of The Avalanches' unique sound. It's a slow-burning, atmospheric track that builds to a crescendo of strings and synths. The lyrics are about love, loss, and longing, and they're delivered with a sense of melancholy that's both beautiful and heartbreaking.
Another standout track is "Frankie Sinatra," a collaboration with MF DOOM. The song is a playful and irreverent take on the classic Frank Sinatra song "My Way." The Avalanches' signature sample-heavy sound is in full effect here, and MF DOOM's rapping is as sharp as ever.
We Will Always Love You is a challenging and rewarding album that defies easy categorization. It's a dense and layered work that will reveal new details with each listen. The Avalanches have always been one of the most innovative and adventurous bands in electronic music, and this album is further proof of their creative genius.
