Avi Buffalo – “Memories Of You” (Stereogum Premiere)

Avi Buffalo

Next month, Avi Buffalo, the Long Beach, California band led by Avi Zahner-Isenberg, returns after a long silence with At Best Cuckold, their sophomore album. We’ve posted “So What,” the album’s first single and opening track, as well as its video. And now we’ve got “Memories Of You,” the song that immediately follows “So What” on the album. It’s a queasy, cluttered, psychedelic track that spirals off into a dizzy solo and makes heavy use of Zahner-Isenberg’s upper range. There’s a bit of Mac DeMarco’s dazed chaos on the song, and a few countrified Beach Boys harmonies, too. Below, listen to it and check out the band’s upcoming tour dates.
