4.0 excellentJasonCarne | November 4th 20

A 50 minute album ain't an EP. Also, this rules.

4.0 excellentDeadwing2112 | June 23rd 20

Red star. Waning Star. Dead star. One thing is for certain, King Buffalo are bonafide rock stars. The opening riff to Red Star Pt. 1 & 2 immediately hooks you into a seductive psychedelic trance and never ceases during its sixteen plus minutes. It is a slow burn of a cosmic journey with patiently building guitar interludes reminiscent of a pacified Tool. Sean McVay's delivery of vocals is nearly spoken word, kept simple and powerfully evocative not unlike a Jim Morrison spellbinding experience. Echo of a Waning Star is a serviceable downshift in pace segueing into Ecliptic featuring Richard Wright mindful synthesizers. Dan Reynolds on the bass steals the show on Eta Carinae (a multiple dying star phenomena) with McVay landing lyrics with staccato precision. The closer Red Star is a gorgeous Bic lighter waving in the night air number with a soft acoustic approach. Whether this a LP or EP is up for debate. However there is no argument that Dead Star is infectiously entertaining and certainly warranted repeated listening.
