psych americana | heavy rock | kraut | post-rock | trippy doom

Update (15.05.25), **Lord Buffalo **won't play, as the USA is once again arbitrarily detaining and harassing people. Unbelievable! Our best wishes go to the band, friends and family... Read theri statement:

"We are heartbroken to announce we have to cancel our upcoming European tour. Our drummer, Yamal Said, who is a Mexican citizen and lawful permanent resident of the United States (green card holder) was forcibly removed from our flight to Europe by Customs and Border Patrol at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on Monday May 12. He has not been released, and we have been unable to contact him. We are currently working with an immigration lawyer to find out more information and to attempt to secure his release. We are devastated to cancel this tour, but we are focusing all of our energy and resources on Yamal’s safety and freedom. We are hopeful that this is a temporary setback and that it could be safe for us to reschedule this tour in the future. In our absence, our touring partners Orsak:Oslo will continue to perform the tour. We urge everyone to go see this amazing band and support them over the next couple weeks."

Orsak:Oslo plays a melancholic brew of psych, kraut, post-rock and doom with gentle fuzz-filled melodies and a noticeable nordic atmosphere. The band was founded by Christian from Gothenburg, Sweden and Øyvind from Oslo, Norway. Their debut album in 2023 gained a huge echo. Next album slated for a spring/summer 2025 release (Vinter Records).

Lord Buffalo (Austin, Texas) is heavy in the way that ghosts are heavy… in the way that billowing dust is heavy. Their sound flows through us, it doesn’t invite the Pavlovian response of typical heavy rock music. Perhaps it’s fitting then that their new album Holus Bolus (12.07.24, (Blues Funeral Recordings) takes its name from an antiquated term meaning “all at once.”… with droning violin, guitars, drums and vocals, they draw equally from Morricone and Badalamenti as from Sabbath and Swans.
