Last American Buffalo mine a similar rich vein of dusty Americana as MM faves The Felice Brothers and the Roadside Graves, and they do it spectacularly well. Ever since we discovered their self-titled four track EP, it has been on regular repeat and just gets better with every play. From the instantly catchy, driving folk propulsion of Thieves to the strummed indie rock of Ghosts and, maybe best of all, the slightly ragged and plaintive I Know, which sounds instantly familiar, like one of those songs you must have heard before – surely simply too good to be new!
Just as with our previous post about the Owsley Brothers, the new EP can be grabbed completely free from their Bandcamp page here. Trust us, there is no excuse not to do so – this is uniformly excellent I promise you.
