The White Buffalo returns with his eighth studio album titled Year Of The Dark Horse, released through Snakefarm.
The Oregon-born, Southern California-bred artist has completed the record with Grammy Award-winning producer Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Brothers Osborne, Fidlar) at his Neon Cross studio in Nashville. For The White Buffalo, aka singer-songwriter-guitarist Jake Smith, it was time to take the less-traveled path and embark on a voyage of discovery.“You think we’re a country band? A folk band? Americana? Rock? What the f_k are you gonna say now?!” says Smith. “With this album, I wanted something outside of what I’ve ever done. I wanted to open up. Do something dangerous. I’m hard to put into a singular genre as it is, but now I really wanted to take away any kind of preconception or pigeon-holing.”
Roughly based around the shifting of the seasons paralleled with the shifting of a relationship, on Year Of The Dark Horse, Smith continues his evocative storytelling through emotionally weighted songs that allow the imagination of the listener to play an important part throughout; the music builds on a tale of debauchery (of the drunken variety) and blame, of love and loss, a life lived against the odds, the whole thing set in one lunar year, following our anti-hero through the highs and lows of the seasons.
