2012
Oxford, Mississippi’s Young Buffalo have announced their new self-titled EP will be available on October 9th, 2012 in the US and November 5th, 2012 in the UK. The highly anticipated EP, which will be released onVotiv, has been picking up momentum amongst the world of indie rock tastemakers as the free download of the EP track “Nature Boy” has been making its way across the blogosphere. The band has also announced the EP artwork (included above) and the track listing for the EP:
1) Baby Demons
2) Hold Me Back
3) Upstairs
4) Nature Boy
5) The Prize
This EP highlights the mature mindset with which the band approached the recording process this time around. The band is a more cohesive unit than at any point in their career, and they are genuinely happy playing music together. When asked how the recording of this EP has changed his view of the band’s
future, Barrett offered this statement: “Two years ago I would’ve answered like ‘we’re going to win Grammys and tour the world. Now thats just bullshit. I just want to be able to tour and make records, anything else is a bonus. I just want an excuse not to be a caterer full time”.
This EP will serve as a rebirth of sorts for the band, and with the quality it exudes; their patient approach in getting to this point seems well worth the wait. Make sure to check them out on select dates this fall, and stay tuned for more details as we get closer to release date!
