Lord Buffalo release new song ‘I Wait On The Door Slab’
LORD BUFFALO have released a new song!
The new song, titled I Wait On The Door Slab, is taken from the Austin, Texas-based heavy psychedelic rock band’s upcoming new album, Holus Bolus, which is scheduled to be released in July this year, via Blues Funeral Recordings.
Frontman Daniel Pruitt comments on how he connected to Walt Whitman’s poem Song of Myself, 51 when writing I Wait On The Door Slab, “his vision of time, the overlapping folds of past, present, and future, is expansive; he sees through the cycle and demands the ‘listener up there’ be honest with him. He’s fiercely in the present while simultaneously feeling the pull of the past and future. The song we wrote explores time in a similar vein, but it is further complicated by the electric gap between body and mind. There’s a sense of exhaustion, of feeling like you might not get another good piece out, but it’s mixed in with the other side of your mind that finds relief in the work. This is where the connection to Song of Myself, 51 first occurred to me. Whitman‘s verse begins, ‘The past and present wilt—I have fill’d them, emptied them. / And proceed to fill my next fold of the future’. The speaker seems spent by the pouring out and yet confident in the filling back up. I think there’s reassurance in his words for anyone who chooses to make a life in creative work.”
