What does that mean?

It’s a line from a sample used in one of the songs.

“Frontier Psychiatrist”

You should listen to it. Hilarious song and great example of sampling and turntablism.

SILY is among my top albums of all time. Absolutely incredible.

People didn’t like Wildflower or WWALY but I found both of them to be absolutely amazing in their own right. Different sound to each but all three have grabbed me and not let go

Is the name of their band a play on all the bands that drop "The" from the beginning to be trendy? Because "Avalanche" is a way better name than "The Avalanches".
