I've gushed over last year's amazing Wetsuit from Minneapolis-by-way-of-Ecuador' s Buffalo Moon far too much. But this week marks a new chapter in the band's career, with the release of their sophomore album Selva Surreal on Moon Glyph. "Moses Baby" is the second single from the album, a sexy and eclectic dark pop track. Lead singer Karen Freire's amazing vocal range and the band's unmistakeable South African style is fully on display on the track, making "Moses Baby" as good a spot as any to dive into Buffalo Moon's new record. Order Selva Surreal [...]

The week starts with another blissful foretaste of the brand new Buffalo Moon LP Selva Surreal , which is out tomorrow. "Moses Baby" abandons the obvious bossa nova borrowings of the wonderful "Chica de Luna" while lingering firmly on Latin soil - complete with cowbells and congas, and even a wonderful, incredibly sexy sax solo by Michael Lewis. A slow-burning, truly marvelous psych pop jam. Selva Surreal can be ordered now over at Moon Glyph .
Buffalo Moon's "Chica De Luna" translates to "Moon Girl", which adds up to a heckuva lot of moon talk on the Moon Glyph Label. Our spanish is shakey, so it's difficult to discern whether the song is about a lady of the night or the classy broad on the Miller High Life bottles. The band's female vocalist sings like a latina Maureen Tucker, falling in and out of English and Spanish, giving the track a "Murder Mystery" meets "Girl From Impanema" v...
The new Buffalo Moon song "Chica de Luna" needed a few spins to really sink in, probably due to the fact that it so blatantly contradicts the melancholic moods evoked by the (albeit wonderful) fall foliage outside my window, but the Brasil pop-informed first single from the band's upcoming album leaves absolutely no doubt that Selva Surreal is going to be another effort of perfectly lush pop extravaganza. Just wondering who the extolled girl of the moon might be. Below, you can watch the band perform "Chica de Luna" live for Minneapolis' MPLS.TV [...]

A handful of best bets from this weekend's musical entertainment selections. Friday, January 7, 2011 High Noon Saloon: Sleeping in the Aviary, Buffalo Moon, Crane Your Swan Neck, Cribshitter at 10 p.m. This should be a great show as it brings Sleeping in the Avairy back to town and sees Crane Your Swan Neck and Cribshitter getting back into the music action. We'd write more, but we have cleared mp3's to do the talking for us. Sleeping in the Aviary's " You Don't Have [...]
So that's it, the year's over. I heard a lot of great music this year, some stuff from the past and a lot of new stuff. This mixtape is about the new songs I've heard that captured my ear and didn't let go. Of course there are many many others, but to get them all in one [...]
