LP Review: "Mountain Rabbit" by Roaming Herds of Buffalo

Mountain Rabbit
Let's have some semi-real talk. Dead to real in terms of internet talk. Roaming Herds of Buffalo contacted me for their last album, The Bugbears, but the times didn't match up.

Thankfully, the Seattle-based umm...rock...dream... ambien... well frankly, I don't know what in the hell this band is.

Mountain Rabbit is their sixth release and they're just as strange, just as abnormal as any other band of nutters out there I suppose.

This album is a never ending buffet line of musical styles. I'm reminded of an old friend that I was  nearly in a couple different bands with. He could pick up any instrument near him and play like he'd been at it for years.

At no point during their modern rocking genre romp do Roaming Herds of Buffalo ever sound like they're faking it. When they played heroin rock, dream pop, hard rock, and modern era pop, it sounds as they've played those styles their whole lives.

So, at this point, I'm forced to lay down the gauntlet in the faces of those who people Roaming Herds of Buffalo...

You either need to play your natural style on your next record, or drop some sweet ass Flamenco and Salsa.

Release 10/16/18 FACEBOOK BANDCAMP
