Search - Backwords :: The Buffalo Still Roam

Like a singing bluebird wandering through the prairie, Backwords delivers gentle, lazy melodies that stick to the tongue and cannot be forgotten. And like a vigilant hawk nesting atop a New York City skyscraper, there is a fury - a darker side that Backwords is capable of exploring on the drop of a dime. Backwords blends modern psychedelics with folk rock, 50s pop and other sonic surprises.
Based out of Brooklyn and Philadelphia, Backwords is rooted in city grit but always keeps a cowboy s heart. Layered voices overlap and ring out, slide guitars reach for the moon, drums chug like a choo-choo, telecasters twang, and upright bass and organ hum it all together.
The Buffalo Still Roam seeps through the mind in many layers. There are love songs, there are traveling songs, there are vast open spaces and prairie's yet to be explored. There is abandonment, absurdity, and paranoia. The album strikes you in the heart with a hot branding iron and leaves you wanting more - more pain, more debauchery, more everything!
