For The White Buffalo -- aka singer / songwriter / guitarist Jake Smith, Oregon-born, Southern California-raised -- it was time to take the less travelled path; to assemble notions for studio album Number 8, the follow-up to 'On The Widow's Walk' (Snakefarm, 2020), and embark on a voyage of discovery. Out with the old, the organic, the expected, the tried; in with the new -- new producer, new studio, new location, no distractions, no looking back... Enter 'Year Of The Dark Horse'... , "rdquo" -> You think we're a country band? A folk band? Americana? Rock? What the fuck are you gonna say now?!" laughs Jake. , "rdquo" -> With this album, I wanted something outside of what I've ever done. I wanted to open up. Do something dangerous. I'm hard to put into a singular genre as it is, but now I really wanted to take away any kind of preconception or pigeon-holing. , "rdquo" -> And don't ask me, cos I don't know what it is! It's a genre-bending thing -- there's elements and influences from ELO, Daniel Lanois, Tom Waits, The Boss, circus, pirate music, yacht rock, and I'm driving and pushing some of these numbers in a way I've never done before." + $3 AT DOOR IF UNDER 21
