Song of the Week: “Frankie Sinatra” by The Avalanches


A long time ago I found a random album at the library by a band called The Avalanches and was blown away by the sound collage of samples, sound bites, and dance music, especially the track “Frontier Psychiatrist.”   16 years later, The Avalanches finally got around to releasing their second album Wildflower featuring the delightfully bizarre and catch “Frankie Sinatra.”

Be warned, the lyrics are crude and the video is slightly disturbing, but if you make it to the end you’ll be singing the refrain all day.
