Powerful drumming and hypnotic basslines lock into grooves that propel self-proclaimed "heavy blues" band King Buffalo from cool, spacious zones into all-out explosive finalés. Mesmerizing, haunting vocals woven into a palette of vivid guitar playing command the audience's full attention, drawing comparisons to early Pink Floyd. With the three members in sync, songs progress steadily and fluidly, from world-weary lulls into squalls of transcendence.
"'Repeater' [EP] finds them brimming with confidence... Their songwriting here hits a new level of craftsmanship that only raises one’s hopes even after such an impressive debut long-player. The question isn’t so much whether King Buffalo are prepared for their next step as it is whether their audience is ready to realize the special moment playing out in front of them."
