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.

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.

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

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

So many of these matches r already impossible. Both great tracks that scratch entirely different itches. ๐Ÿ˜•

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

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