Description:

Buffaloâ??s Del Paxton recorded their second full length Auto Locator straight to tape over three cloudy days in a solar powered barn, somewhere in New Yorkâ??s Finger Lakes. Named for the rewind mechanism on the reel to reel tape machine on which the band tracked the album, Auto Locator coils up the chemical trails of ribbon binding old places and head spaces to our consciousness. Static and hiss leach between analog track layers, blurring the normal and paranormal to remind us that no memory is totally separate from a fiction â?? just like no drum track is totally separate from bass. Over Auto Locatorâ??s ten songs, Del Paxton rip shit like a band entering their second decade of existence. On-the-nose opener â??Freight Train Metaphorâ? throws listeners face first into the bandâ??s first album since 2017, with a syncopated pulse and arpeggiating guitar foreshadowing a record replete with punkish, serpentine composition. â??Up With a Twist,â? the albumâ??s lead track, deals in Del Paxtonâ??s crashing punk vibrance, through which the band explores and laments the uninspired architecture of American sprawl. Second single â??Chart Readerâ?, whose origins trace back to a psychedelic dream inspired by Wayfaring Strangers: Cosmic American Music, sees the trio dabbling in emo Americana, even featuring a nod to John Denverâ??s â??Take Me Home, Country Roads.â? Such unashamed references abound throughout Auto Locator, which takes further inspiration from bands like Mock Orange, Third Eye Blind, and Jimmy Eat World, all of whose influence can be heard on â??Palpitationsâ? and third single â??Spiritual Gymnastics.â? -
