Avi Buffalo‘s long awaited second album ‘I Am Cuckold‘ is released on September 9th via Sub Pop, and before then you can sample its delights over on Pitchfork where there’s a full stream.
The band, led by frontman Avi Zahner-Isenberg, released a stunning self-titled debut LP in 2010, but have taken their time in crafting a follow-up. The eventual successor has been produced by Zahner-Isenberg with the assistance of bandmate Sheridan Riley.
“I really like some of the ballad aspects of this record — it’s kind of my tribute to the ballad,” he has previously said. “I predicted in an interview during the time of my first record what I was going to use in my next record, and I said a lot of major seventh chords, which, to me, sounded like laying down. And that ended up in the record, too.”
