The Avalanches - "A Cowboy Overflow Of The Heart" (Demo)

Here’s a new demo from the Avalanches, a minimally-accompanied spoken word joint featuring Silver Jews’ David Berman, who reads. Remember, that mixtape posted back in April wasn’t actually from the band, so this is the first new bit of anything in quite some time. Hear it below.

More details soon, we hope; the Avalanches figured prominently in our Top 20 Albums We’ve Been Waiting On Forever. Image via Avalanches’ Twitter.

  1. well that was awesome

  2. my god, this is excellent

  3. Holy Santa Claus shit!!! amazing (-:

  4. Worth the 12 year wait? Yes.

  5. Some clarifications need to be made. The Sleepy Bedtime mix from April WAS actually from one of the members of The Avalanches, whereas the Cool Gays mix that had a track that was an old demo by The Avalanches was made by one of the members of Architecture in Helsinki.

  6. Excellent, it’s been a long time coming, but well worth the wait!

  7. Oh No, looks like these guys are going to release a collaboration album to take the heat off ..
    This is the result of a TEN YEAR EFFORT, I’m amazed anyone would rate it.
    I suppose you can’t expect much from 40 year old slackers.

  8. Ah, of course the stream is taken down by time I get around to listening. Can someone type out to me how it sounded?
