Published: September 02, 2014

Long Beach indie rock outfit Avi Buffalo will release their sophomore album,At Best Cuckold, on September 9th via Sub Pop. In anticipation, it’s streaming over at Pitchfork.

The 10-track effort follows up2010’s self-titled debut.Frontman AviZahner-Isenberg and collaboratorSheridan Riley self-produced the record themselves.

A press release describes the album as aquirky yet comforting set of songs driven by refined pop songcraft and sneaky moments of grandeur that stick in the brain. Classic-sounding melodies are delivered with a modern sensibility, creating an album thats equal parts timely and timeless. Well-placed piano, sax, clarinet, French horn, and cornet further enhance the proceedings with a glorious orch-pop sheen.

I really like some of the ballad aspects of this record its kind of my tribute to the ballad,” Zahner-Isenberg said in a statement. “I predicted in an interview during the time of my first record what I was going to use in my next record, and I said a lot of major seventh chords, which, to me, sounded like laying down. And that ended up in the record, too.

The album is preceded by two singles, “So What” and “Memories of You”.

Pre-orders are ongoing.
