''Wildflower'' is the second studio album by Australian {{electronic music}} group Music/TheAvalanches, and it was released on July 1st, 2016. The album was stuck in DevelopmentHell for a number of years, with the group beginning production on the album very shortly after ''Music/SinceILeftYou'' was released, and continuing to collaborate with a number of artists and contributing music to a number of other projects as well. In 2005, it was being described as "{{ambient}} {{world music}}", and in early 2007 they had over 40 tracks which they were considering using. Production resumed in 2011 headed by Robbie Chater with assistance from Tony Di Blasi, who took over after Chater became ill for a number of years.

The album began to be teased in early 2016, with a video for "Frankie Sinatra" being released in June. Upon its release, it received widespread acclaim from critics and quickly reached number 1 on the Australian charts.

* SubliminalSeduction: Playing "Colours" backwards reveals these vocals (sampled from: "Where There's a Heartache" by The Sandpipers):
-->After the tears\\
True love can start\\
Where there's a heartache\\
There must be a heart
