King Buffalo announce new album ‘The Burden of Restlessness’
KING BUFFALO have announced a brand new album!
Titled The Burden of Restlessness, the upcoming album from the psychedelic rock band is the brand new full-length effort and is scheduled for release in June via Stickman Records (Europe) and self-release (North America). The album is the first of three that the band are planning on releasing this year.
Self-recorded in late 2020 and early 2021 by guitarist/vocalist Sean McVay, bassist Dan Reynolds and drummer Scott Donaldson, the album is set to push KING BUFFALO’s progressive aspects forward into new avenues of melody and exploration. Guitarist/vocalist Sean McVay drops what’s bound to become one of the record’s signature lyrics in opener Burning when he declares, “Another year lost in the wasteland, and more succinct summaries of cancelled plans and rescheduled, lost or damaged lives are hard to come by.“
He continues: “The Burden of Restlessness was written over the course of what most would consider a pretty stark and stressful time period. The end result is our darkest, most aggressive, and most intimate work to date. We are extremely proud of what this record became.”
Drummer Scott Donaldson says, “Since COVID stopped all touring, we’ve been hard at work and made the commitment to not waste the opportunity. We’re excited to share the first of three records of 2021, which has expanded our sound in a lot of different ways. We hope you enjoy it and we look forward to eventually playing these songs live.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, KING BUFFALO have released a brand new song lifted from the upcoming album; Hebetation.
