Something about Lord Buffalo’s eerie, reverb-laden strings and stretched, raspy vocals bear some not-so-subtle vibes of lunacy; blatantly, emotionally off-kilter. Even in a town that embraces those who veer from the norm, Lord Buffalo may be one of the more interesting emerging groups in Austin right now. Oddly enough, they also recently scored a friend’s theatrical interpretation of The Yellow Wallpaper (a famous short story about a woman’s slow descent into insanity) and have an EP due out in a week. Go get yourself a copy and see the guys play at their release party with the Black Books at Hotel Vegas on April 7th.
