BUFFALO TOM

This is one 'Jump Rope' that will never experience a single skip: it’s a spectacular collection of moreish songwriting from the enduring alt-rock heroes.

After six years, the American alternative rock band are back with their tenth full-length studio album, 'Jump Rope'. During the lockdown, the band kept on writing and sent each other ideas for arrangements and parts, which resulted in a sizeable backlog of song ideas. A sort of direction made itself apparent from the ideas they were trading; most of the songs called for an acoustic, quieter production. Eventually, emerging from their basements, they slowly got to actually working together on the songs in the same room, rehearsing quietly (especially for the super-loud Buffalo Tom), with acoustic guitar. After giving most of the songs a good amount of overdubs and a lot of electric guitars, the songs evolved into this beautiful and thrilling Buffalo Tom album: 'Jump Rope'.
