Wildflower is the second studio album by Australian electronic music group The Avalanches, released on July 1st, 2016.The album was stuck in Development Hell for a number of years, with the group beginning production on the album very shortly after their first album Since I Left You was released, and continuing to collaborate with a number of artists and contributing music to a number of other projects as well. In 2005, it was being described as "ambient world music", and in early 2007 they had over 40 tracks which they were considering using. Production resumed in 2011 headed by Robbie Chater with assistance from Tony Di Blasi, who took over after Chater became ill for a number of years.The album began to be teased in early 2016, with a video for its lead single "Frankie Sinatra" being released in June. Upon its release, it received widespread acclaim from critics and quickly reached number 1 on the Australian charts.

Longest Song Goes Last: Clocking in at just over five minutes, "Saturday Night Inside Out" is the longest song on the album and also the last song.

Genre Roulette: Much like their last album, the genre varies from song to song. Hip-Hop, Rap, Disco, Psychedelic Rock are just some of the musical styles covered in this album.

Sampling
 Wildflower (Music) / int_515eeccc
comment
Sampling: A given, since this is an album by The Avalanches. "The Leaves Were Falling" samples both a club scene from Smithereens and Julia Pomeroy saying "hi" from the film Over the Edge. Very amusingly, just after MF Doom says the word "pirate" in "Frankie Sinatra", a clip of Jack Sparrow saying "Oi!" from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest plays in the right speaker. The end of "Frankie Sinatra" samples "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music. "The Noisy Eater" contains a sped up sample of "Come Together" by The Beatles. "Wildflower" contains a sample of a scene from Putney Swope.

Siamese Twin Songs: Technically has a Siamese Quintuplet song, with the opener "The Leaves Were Falling", "Because I'm Me", the album version of "Frankie Sinatra", "Subways" and "Going Home" all seamlessly leading into each other.

Spoken Word in Music: Their two collaborations with David Berman, "Saturday Night Inside Out" and "A Cowboy Overflow of the Heart" (a demo the band released as a free download) both consist of Berman reciting his poetry over music.

Shout-Out

Shout-Out: During his guest appearance on "The Noisy Eater", Biz Markie raps the line "I don't want no chicken 'cuz it tastes like wood," a reference to The Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight." Speaking of "The Noisy Eater," it is both titled after and samples a bit by Jerry Lewis.

comment
Fading into the Next Song: Much like their last album, every song in the album seamlessly transitions into the next. Unlike their last album, however, each song begins and/or ends with ambient noises (people talking, city noises, crashing waves, etc.), which carry over into the following song.
