Press Reviews
so underground that underground music stores rarely
carry their extensive catalog of conceptual pearls,
buffalo is never going to be a money-making venture.
that was obviously never the intent either. from the
minimalist rhythmic licking structures of "the 867 letter"
to the ethnic falsetto disaster "she shaves her legs,"
or the overall bizarre nature of the epic "Camo Khuchz and
the zebra," one can easily conclude that buffalo are
content walking on the edge of what is barely listenable, and
not very worried about falling off.
just when you thought weird couldn't
get much weirder, upon the release
and relative success of "stampede,"
buffalo spends eleven years refining
their follow-up and surprises the scene
with "kuwrgreh jgg shuuui cchh," an
album recorded entirely in a language
never before heard, with various patting
noises weaving in and out of tracks
as if it were the most natural thing
in the world. the band supposedly
reconvened recently in colorado, usa,
doing an impromptu show in front of
two lucky female fans. digital audio
files were traded on the internet soon
after, as it turns out the concert was
streamed to a server in new york (via
iceland?) which in turn delivered the
content to a few hundred people in mexico
who were attempting to access an american
sports feed. buffalo is indeed back, and
they're rumored to be working on a new
album. judging from the recent internet
happenings, it should be a fair assumption
to make that more digital audio will pop up -
perhaps even an all-digital release will be
preferred over actually releasing a CD? (since
stores dont't carry their music, buffalo's
distribution usually consists of placing a
few albums here and there; in free newspaper
boxes, restaurant rest-rooms, random cubicles,
etc). time will tell.
