If you were to ask me for my favorite album of the decade, it’d definitely be
The Avalanches‘
Gimix (which was eventually chopped down to
Since I Left You). The album hit at a time where I could only find music through the radio/MTV, and I’d never heard anything like it. It’s still the standard by which I define other sample clad artists (like
Air France,
Lemon Jelly and
Quiet Village). I guess I’ll always be stuck waiting for their eternally suspended sophomore release.
Javelin comes very close to rekindling the
highlife aspect ofÂ
The Avalanches‘ sound. This Brooklyn-via-Providence duo better keep stomping around for a second album or I’ll melt. Bonus
The Very Best remix.
Javelin – Lindsay Brohan
Javelin – Intervales Theme
The Very Best – Julia (Javelin remix)

Lindsey Brohan, lush
Yeah I’m hearing that Avalanches vibe bigtime, still got their own sound though which is HOT!! Never heard of these guys, appreciate you educating my ears.
