The Avalanches

Disco
DiscoElectronic

The Avalanches is a Disco and Electronic act. Their sound grew out of DOOMSTARKS, Cola Boyy, Terence Trent D'Arby, Edan and Steinski. Those roots explain a lot about how The Avalanches arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Boards of Canada, LCD Soundsystem, Justice, Lemon Jelly and Four Tet, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Father John Misty, DJ Shadow, J Dilla, The Radio Dept. and Purple Mountains, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 72 connections around The Avalanches, reaching back through DOOMSTARKS and forward to Father John Misty.
