The Avalanches

Will always be inexorably linked with the pandemic for me, but equally almost feel like this album saved my life (or at least my mental health) - it appearing out of nowhere just as we entered that brutal winter lockdown was a genuine fucking christmas miracle. My favourite of theirs and always gets heavy rotation this time of year :+1:

Yeah this is basically how I feel about it. I didn’t have much connection to The Avalanches before but it seamlessly blended so many different influences into a big hug in album form.

It was my album of the year, whenever that year was, and my opinion hasn’t changed.

Love The Avalanches. SILY a top 5 all-timer for me and my go-to summer album.

Got WWALY on

It’s perfect, one of my favourite albums of all time.

Always reach for it when I’m depressed and it’s a comforting friend.

Interstellar love just came on in my classroom. Makes the drudgery of marking almost bearable.

Its just brilliant. Unapologetically sentimental and emotional, with perfect guest singers
