BuffaBLOG’s weekly local album reviews and event picks!

The Color Waves–Chirology (7”)
Recommended If You Like: Belle & Sebastian, Low, the Radio Dept.

Former Glasgow indie-pop artist turned Buffalo musician Garry Hoggan teamed up with fellow Scot Alison Eales for two tracks of dreamy and dark jangle pop. The seven-inch is currently available for pre-order through Cloudberry Records.

Sonny Baker–”You’re a Disaster/I’m a Disaster” (Song)
RIYL: Dinosaur Jr., Japandroids, Yuck

Rhubarb and fellow Lazlo Hollyfeld members teamed up with the ever busy Buffalo artist for a fleshed-out trio to record Baker’s new guitar-rock solo offering. The Flesh It Out EP will be released later this summer on Steak and Cake Records.

Passive Aggressives Anonymous–“Many at Once”
RIYL: Jens Lekman, Burt Bacharach, Father John Misty

Rochester crooners released their whimsical new song late last week. The tongue-in-cheek number makes a convincing case for keeping your options open while perusing the opposite sex.
