    As much as it is rewarding to listen to, it often feels as if it crumbles under its own weight as a dense and scenic album. While it may be a tribute to the barren beauties of Australia, "Wildflower" somewhat fails to encapsulate them.

    The Avalanches bag production, they roller-coaster; got to be jokers, they just do what they please. [No. 134, p.51]

    Wildflower is simply a joy, an euphonious hour-long journey that exists in some wonderfully naive and blissful alternate universe. It’s an aural paradise you’ll never want to leave.

    Wildflower does a robust job of reiterating core skills rather than offering radical reinvention. [Sep 2016, p.66]
