Not an avalanche, but a modest victory for "Since I Left You" 10-8

I think I'll probably go Avalanches, just because I treat a 'best song' tournament as a pop song tournament. Both are excellent, though.

So many of these matches r already impossible. Both great tracks that scratch entirely different itches. 😕

The Avalanches video above isn't available in Slovenistan, so here's the excellent video instead:

Since I left you is this lush, cinematic, beautiful thing whilst being totally pop friendly too. I think it's perfect really.

Brutally tough matchup!

I love that Avalanches cut! Being older, I really resonate with how absolutely perfectly it captures and expresses a certain 70s soul vibe that I didn't really appreciate at the time but have come to love over the years.

But Alvin Row just has soooooo much going on; so much going for it musically and compositionally. I have to vote for it, but I'd much rather have seen these two both have the opportunity to advance much deeper into the bracket.

Yeah fuck this matchup, going for my own nomination, but Avalanches get my vote in 90% other cases.

I do kind of regret my nominations for the tournament, and while I would still nominate an Animal Collective track if I did it again, I'd probably pick something that better represents their 2000s output (eg. Purple Bottle, Fireworks, Who Could Win a Rabbit, ...). Alvin Row is still a dear favourite though, it's basically a culmination of everything on that album. I don't think any artist conveys feelings of nostalgia and growing up better than this guys do.
