Artist: Buffalo Daughter

Song: “Et (Densha)“

You are not prepared for this song. Japanese art-rock group Buffalo Daughter have been melting minds and ears since 1993. Now, they’re back with their first album in seven years WE ARE THE TIMES. “Et (Densha)” is from the new record and I don’t quite know how to describe it. It’s both light and dark, heavy yet lifting, strange but beautiful. It’s every juxtaposition you can think of and it gets in your head and won’t leave. Like and infection or a blessing. I am listening to the record one song at a time and savoring each of them like candy for my ears.
