Stream – Buffalo Killers : Dig. Sow. Love. Grow

Ohio based trio Buffalo Killers‘ are streaming their fourth full-length effort – Dig. Sow. Love. Grow. Stampeding with the ferocity of their first two albums (the Dan Auerbach-produced Let It Ride from 2008 and their self-titled debut from two years prior), Dig. Sow. Love. Grow incorporates much of the loose, organic nature from last year’s highly-praised album 3 with some late ’60s psychedelia, blues, Americana, garage rock and the folk-rock sounds that rolled out of Laurel Canyon in the early ’70s like a sweet cloud of Acapulco Gold.
