The Avalanches: Wildflower version on vinyl 2LP/CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe and UK in publishing company Modular Recordings in cooperation with XL Recordings on 8. July 2016.

What happened to The Avalanches? That's a question that some people must have asked themselves in the 16 years since the release of their debut "Since I Left You" in 2000. Since then, there have been repeated rumors that the iconic album would be followed by a second full-length. Now, half an eternity later, the time has come: 'Wildflower' will be released on XL. This album is probably the most highly anticipated second album in music history. The track "Wildflower", conceived by Robbie Chater and Tony Di Blasi, is a wild roller coaster ride through breakneck loops full of samples that will mess with your head with their spastic sounds. Last year's single "Frankie Sinatra" is a fitting insight into the plot, as it creates entire worlds in less than four minutes and is accompanied by a crazy music video. Danny Brown and MF Doom are on board, while Wilmoth Houdini and Rogers & Hammerstein tap the sound carpet. The video was produced by Fleur & Manu (Drake, A$AP Rocky, M83) and shows a handful of New Orleans residents who accidentally come into contact with hallucinogens while on a pilgrimage and lose all contact with reality.

Album spans genres Rock, Electronic, Hip Hop, Experimental, Abstract, Disco and Breaks.
