What people are saying about Avi Buffalo:
“...Infuses a dreamy 1960s rock sound with youthful ambition, evoking the past with a touch of dread. Nimble guitar solos flower from the mix and forlorn piano lines tug heartstrings while Zahner-Isenberg’s tender, breathy voice describes a world of demure emotions and generational anxieties.” [Feature] -  Pitchfork

"An even more pop-centric prism of West Coast folky radiance" [Review, 4/5] -  Mojo  

"Classic American pop-rock served with a glaze of summer-fried weirdness" [Review, 8/10] -  Uncut  

"A happy return." [Review, 4/5]  Q 

"An album that skirts close to perfection." [Review, 9/10] -  NME "So What," the first release off Avi Buffalo's sophomore album At Best Cuckold, soars with low fidelity guitar riffs through cycles of a singsongy chorus. Its well-crafted lyricism elevates the song's downplayed charisma to an admirable and unique stature against this year's alt-pop rockers" ["So What"] -  FILTER "It can't help but seduce." ["So What"]-  CLASH "The album’s first reveal, “So What”, lends some satisfying maturity to their sound. While Avi Zahner’s pen as playful and imaginative as their self-titled debut, the band’s easygoing rock and roll tones have been mystified in dreamy reverb similar to Capture Tracks leaders like DIIV and Wild Nothing. This change of pace keeps them far away from “waking up feeling normal"" ["So What"] -  Consequence of Sound "Off-kilter pop glory." ["Memories of You"] -  DIY “It’s a warm and vibrant track full of Avi’s youthful vocals over some jangly guitar lines that are just plane delightful. “So What” just moves and grooves in all the right ways. It’s perfect for the warm summer weather that has finally arrived and will be promptly put on repeat all week.”["So What"] -   We All Want Someone To Shout For At Best Cuckold
