Formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1997, The Avalanches are a genre-defying electronic group renowned for their intricate sound collages, inventive sampling, and playful approach to music production. Led by core members Robbie Chater and Tony Di Blasi, the group gained international acclaim with their debut album *Since I Left You* in 2000, which showcased an astonishing array of samples woven together to create infectious, nostalgic soundscapes. The album received widespread critical praise, frequently cited as one of the best albums of the decade, and established The Avalanches as pioneers of plunderphonics and sample-based production.

Despite the overwhelming success of their debut, The Avalanches became known for their reclusive nature and the lengthy hiatuses between releases. Rumors and anticipation swirled for years until the group returned in 2016 with their second album, *Wildflower*. The record featured guest appearances from artists like Danny Brown, MF DOOM, and Father John Misty, blending psychedelic pop, hip-hop, and electronic music to further push the boundaries of their signature sound.

The Avalanches continued to evolve with their third record, *We Will Always Love You* (2020), which leaned into themes of cosmic love and loss while emphasizing collaborations and electronic experimentation. Constantly reinventing themselves and embracing new technology, the group’s music remains both forward-thinking and deeply rooted in the nostalgia of forgotten pop culture. The Avalanches continue to perform worldwide, captivating audiences with their meticulously constructed DJ sets and live performances, solidifying their status as one of electronic music’s most innovative acts.
