Avi Buffalo Makes You Look Like an Untalented Wretch


What did you do in High School? I played violin, drank Mike's Hard Lemonade, smoked an occasional bowl and stole orange street cones. Avi Buffalo, started a band, and a pretty decent one at that. Its orchestral soothing folk, reminiscent of Fleet Foxes and maybe a little bit of Thao. There is also a bit of Sufjan in there, but without the religious undertones. They have slightly childish voices and a strong sense of innocence, but perhaps I just sense that because I know they are so young. I think they need a couple more years to marinate, to grow and be grown up. To figure out what their lyrics should be. To become a truely great musician takes that. Listen to them, and try not to move, lest the heat kill you. The soothing music will help you meditate the heat away. Or whatever.
