The Avalanches

The Avalanches are an electronic group that uses 3 members to play 2 sets of keyboards, one bass, one siging backup vocals, and another on a DJ set. They make music based entirely off of samples. Their debut album (so far the only one I've listened to) consisted of 3500 samples alone. What I like about it is when you hear that they make songs based entirely off of samples, vocals and all, you think it would sound like just noise but it's not. It is truly mind blowing to me how some electronic artist make this type of sampling music. It takes time and concentration to get the beat to match with the vocals perfectly. And also this album is one full song. It's tight as hell how they do the transitions from song to song. There is rumors that they are making another album soon and if so, I will be looking forward to this.

My favorite song off of "Since I Left You" is Electricity
And probably the most popular song off of this album is "Since I Left You"
And if you have time, listen to the full hour long album
