@@neutra__l8525 The first album is a concept album (only found out recently) based on a romantic travel film on a cruise liner. It's got loads of 70s cocktail bar tunes on it and disco/soul samples. The Avalanches grew up watching and listening to alternative 70s/80s American music and films. And their music is soaked in nostalgia (for their age). The OP may have meant that sampling was big in 90s which it was. Watch 'Soda Jerk' and it makes sense, especially for 'wildflower'.

I teared up when the guy started reciting David Berman's song "Darkness and Cold" at 2:58

One detail I love about this MV is that when he is dancing in front of the cars, the lights are indeed red. Not only is this a nod to the song's title but it also grounds the music video in reality. It's possible to walk across the street and dance up on a car that's stopped at a red light; it's obviously impossible or at the very least dangerous to do this when the lights are green. I love this detail because it encourages the viewer to embrace this very sense of freedom and inhibition, without the unrealistic fanfare that is often chosen for spectacle's sake. We can indeed go outside and get flowers and dance around town like the protagonist does in this music video. Incredible song one of my favorites by the Avalanches

Suddenly the world doesn't seems so scary anymore.. thanks Avalanches. 💙

'Nine Perfect Strangers' episode 3

I've been a fan since a record seller in Brighton recommended the first album to me on the day of release. This is equal to their best work. Melancholy, sweet, and indefinable.

Never wrote any comments on videos. This song is insane. 2 years after everyone, I am discovering it, wondering how was I able to live without it. The video is awesome, very stunning visuals. The best part is the black cop... When she is humming, I could put that on repeat indefinitely.

I am considerably older (probably waaaaaaty older) than the Avalanches demo group, but this song is about as close to perfect as anything I've heard. Rivers Cuomo and Pink Siifu's vocal layers on top of the music gives the whole project an ethereal, yet accessible, vibe. First heard bits of the song as the outro to an episode of Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers and scoured the net to find it. Well worth the search. Video is great as well.,

Es Radio Doble Nueve 99.1FM Lima, Perú XD

I like Pink Siifu's delivery - reminds me of Maxi Jazz from Faithless back in the day. This whole track is teeming with 90s nostalgia. You know, back when the apocalypse wasn't happening? Ah, good times...

Something about the story being told in this video gets me everytime, and it's just a heartbreak song! This track comes very CLOSE to how I reminisce over "Since I Left You" both track and video. I've been listening to this just as much as Since I Left You and they share similar yet simple dynamic of finding peace and freedom, just let loose.

So many people fall into this trap, and are ashamed to attempt it. But man, if you just learn how to use your body, you can move effervescently!

This is defiently from the mid point of the new album. Reminds me of Harmony from Wildflower

Already obsessed with the song ❤️

I love this song and I loved you guys ever Since 'You' Left 'Me'. It's a gloomy Monday and I'm staying indoors because life suddenly decided to switch the difficulty level from 'Hard' to 'Extreme', but this song lifted my spirits and literally put a smile on my face. Stay safe, everyone!

The direction The Avalanches are going in is so good, Wild Flower now seems like a trailer for the path they're going on and I am ecstatic to hear it.

I have been a fan of them since their first album. I was born on March 18, the same day they premiered this song. It was literally the best birthday present.

I’m not quite sure why I’ve resonated with this song so heavily recently. It is a great song, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve watched the music video maybe like 26 times already lol idk I really enjoy the freeness of the dancing tied into the loose narrative that wraps the whole thing up, the audio switch that happens after pink siifu’s spoken word part is so good to hear and watch as a transition to the cops point of view. prob in my top 20 fav music videos ever
