Avi Buffalo released their acclaimed debut album back in 2010, when the bandmembers were still in high school. They played a ton of shows… then sorta fell off the face of the earth. While in these short-attention-span days, you might think they were donesville, main creative force Avi-Zahner-Isenberg, now 23, is finally back with LP #2. Recorded mainly at John Vanderslice’s Tiny Telephone studios and completed in New York and Los Angeles, At Best Cuckold will be out via Sub Pop on September 9. (You may have heard some songs at SXSW.) That’s the cover art above and you can stream first single “So What” below. The new song shows the four years haven’t dampened Avi’s melodic skills.

No word on US shows yet, but Avi Buffalo will be on tour in Europe this fall. Dates are listed, along with album tracklist and single stream, below…
