Friday's Stuff We Like
Buxton - Nothing Here Seems Strange
I'm a bit partial to this Houston-based band after meeting them in October when they were here for CMJ. That southern charm definitely did me in. I hadn't listened to them before and didn't know what to expect at all, but holy shit were they good live! I've never been a big fan of all that folky/twangy sounding music, besides Ryan Adams, but Buxton is completely different. Their music is sweet, fun, and accessible to those that maybe haven't tried listening to this kind of music before. Their new album, Nothing Here Seems Strange, has been on heavy rotation on my iPod the last few months. My absolute favorite tracks off the album are "Boy of Nine" (which they've released a music video for), "Down in the Valley," and "Body Count." Whenever I listen to this album, I picture myself on a porch swing drinking sweet tea out of a mason jar, waiting for one of my friends to pick me up so we can go to the rodeo. That's what they do in Texas, right? Anyway, dreams of Texas aside, you should pick up this album because it rules. You can thank me later.
