Introducing ... Buffalo Bunny

There’s a lot of great lockdown-specific music projects underway at present. Whether it’s the live streaming of solo gigs put together from the comfort of locked down lounges, “Zoom” and/or other forms of live collaborative efforts, or simply the abundance of isolation-inspired music being released on digital platforms, there’s plenty of fresh stuff out there to sate the appetite of music lovers across the globe.

This track, ‘2 Meters’ from the Wellington-based duo Buffalo Bunny, comes brand new and direct from my own coastal neighbourhood, somewhere near the bottom of the world. But it could be from just about anywhere for the way it captures that almost surreal not-quite-apocalyptic vibe we’ve all been involuntarily lumbered with under Covid-19 lockdown realities.

According to one half of Buffalo Bunny, Victoria Singh – the other half of the duo being Jamie Scott Palmer – it was inspired by much travelled local muso/music teacher Peter Jefferies (Nocturnal Projections, This Kind of Punishment, brother of Graeme) and will appear on an upcoming (Italian) indie compilation after they “were asked to do a piece in response to the lockdown - specifically isolation …”

Grab it from the Bandcamp link below, and if you like the otherworldly experimental nature of this track, then I’ll suggest that you might also enjoy the similarly spooky David Lynch-esque feels of Buffalo Bunny's ‘Outta Dargaville (somewhere)’ on the same platform.
