Eleventh Avenue is Ammonia's second and final studio album. It was released in Australia in May 1998.
It was a very different album to their previous effort, Mint 400, moving away from grunge-inspired guitar rock to include harmonies, samples and psychedelic keyboards.
The album was recorded and produced by Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev), a choice made by the band in part due to the lack of control the band had over the first album. Two songs ("You're Not The Only One Who Feels This Way" and "Monochrome") received extensive airplay on Triple J; however, the album failed to chart as well as its predecessor, only reaching #20 on the National Album charts.[1] Eleventh Avenue turned out to be the band's last album. It went out of print in March 2002.
