The Avalanches

New to me, I was intrigued by the song "Frontier Psychiatrist" that I heard on satellite radio this weekend.  Here is some background on the Avalanches.http://www.spin.com/blogs/avalanches-return-sort-lullaby-mixtape/.

It's been 12 years since the Avalanches released their debut album, Since I Left You, a masterpiece of sample-based psychedelia, among other things, and a direct ancestor of chillwave; since then, rumors of a follow-up have swirled, but details have remained as hazy as the group's own music. What's been the hold-up? Some fans blame bureaucracy: The musicians estimate that they used 3,000-4,000 discrete samples on Since I Left You, and, these days, securing clearance on even a fraction of that would amount to a Herculean legal task. (It used to be computer memory that dictated the limits of sample-based music; these days, producers measure their options not in kilobytes but in billable hours.) More cynical listeners speculate that the group simply never got it together to record a second album. Since I Left You certainly sounded like the work of a couple of stoner savants, content to laze away days and nights locked inside their dreamy loops.
