At Best Cuckold‘ was one of Live4ever’s essential albums of last year, but it seems such acclaim has contributed to Avi Buffalo‘s untimely demise, which was confirmed by leader Avi Zahner-Isenberg in a Facebook statement yesterday (January 27th).

In the statement, Zahner-Isenberg says the band ‘went too far’, and that the experience of being in Avi Buffalo made him feel a little unwell to say the least.

“The Avi Buffalo band is over; done with my 2-record-contract with SubPop and available to be anyone’s guitarist/songwriter/producer/engineer/whatever works, gonna keep makin’ music left and right,” the statement begins.

“I have very much appreciated touching good people with this music, having a cool avenue through the world to perform it, getting to meet you whether it was in the USA, Canada or Europe, and working with some awesome musicians.”

“I don’t think this project was meant for even the minute exposure on a ‘professional’ scale that it got, as it ended up causing a lot more pain and drained my creative energy,” it continues. “It makes me wake up sick, confused, depressed, out of touch with myself and irrelevant to current music’s existence.”
