Album Overview
The psych trio from Rochester, NY have delivered the goods once again. Regenerator is another wonderful chapter in the King Buffalo story. This masterpiece of stoner rock bliss has taken them to new heights. These 7 tracks hit with sonic fuzz heaviness while having a calming effect on the listener, It's an all consuming album. The vision these guys have and the volume of music over the last couple of years is mind-blowing. Perhaps the busiest band in rock besides King Gizzard.
The Music
Heavy psych vibes lead the way on Regenerator. The combination of classic and progressive stoner riffs is second to none. The drumming and bass work are exceptional and distinct, making for a very layered sounding album.
The Vocals
Guitarist Sean McVay has a clean, laid back tone and stands out beautifully within the music.
Standout Track(s)
Mammoth
The bass and lyrics are just so consuming. It's a trippy affair that only King Buffalo can produce.
