Phantom Buffalo / Sanctuaries / Rice Cultivation Society

In Phantom Buffalo, Jonathan Balzano-Brookes sings sweet falsetto tales of bugs, ghosts, and lost children to a crunchy country psych production; part Shins, part Mike Nesmith's First National Band. The More you listen, the more beautiful and strange it becomes, as songs reveal hidden melodies and riffs, and Balzano-Brookes trills weird-out lines like, "There's something in the radio." Like looking at a beautiful landscape painting, and seeing something move in the corner.
