Phantom Buffalo - Shishimumu (2005)


I don't know how to describe Phantom Buffalo. Soothing and strange. Kinda reminds me of the Flaming Lips. The lyrics, like the album cover and the song names are sometimes absurd, childish (Domestic Pet Growing Seeds, Distracting Salamander) and sometimes weird, alienating (Parasitic Wedding Vows, Ask Your Grandmother). The album starts off slow and builds up to some really intriguing pop tunes. The more you listen the more you pick up on insightful lyrics and melodies.. but it's a little disturbing, like the horizon burning in the corner.
