29052014 - We Hunt Buffalo "We Hunt Buffalo"

Yes, another band with the word "Buffalo" in the band name! You know those albums where you around halfway through find yourself really enjoying the thing? You know, physically digging it, to the point of nodding your head, tapping your foot or just moving in rhythm with the music, and realising that you have been doing this for a while? This is one of those, and to me that's a sign of an album that might be invited to stay with you for a while, perhaps ending up as a new favorite. The last time this happened to me was when I fell under the spell of Elder's fantastic album "Dead Roots Stirring", and this record has some of the same qualities: the hypnotizing and heavy riffs, the great melodies and that spellbinding je ne sais quoi that makes me want to put this album on repeat for the rest of the year! There are parts here that remind me of vintage Motorpsycho, others that are more classic rock and bits of both desert and swamp. All fans of great hard rock, regardless of labels or tags, should check this album out!
