Listen To This: Like Honey For Our Soul
Filed under: Australiastic > Listen To This
This is our weakness!
Female vocalists singing pretty songs just make us melt.
And New Buffalo fits that bill perfectly!
Also known as Sally Seltmann, this Australian singer/songwriter makes sweet, delicate yet powerful tunes that connect with a truth that's universal.
Stripped down of artifice, New Buffalo's music is folk, pop, quirky, and just lovely.
Plus, Sally's voice is just a thing of beauty!

Did we gush enough?
Ya, she's that good!

SHE CAN REALLLYYYY SINGGGG
BETTER THEN BRITNY
Absolutely beautiful. I love Feist and Regina Spektor as well.
Female singer-songwriter, vocalists, are my weakness too!
It sounds like the band Rasputina…
I like it. Very melancholic.
WHY WERE THE PREVIOUS COMMENTS DELETED
wow, she's amazing!
so glad you mentioned her on here… i'm addicted.
She has a wonderful voice, the music is melodic, while the lyrics are amazingly romantic and soft. She is quickly becoming one of my new favourites.
absolutely love this orgasm to my ears
Sorry guys to say that, but I think that is an aweful song. I dont like it. But hey, I am sure she doenst want to be loved by everyone, but make music she loves. so go on girl!!!
this rlly pisses me off. because this isnt 'new buffalo'. this is eisley. wtf. seriously major piss off she like ruined the song. the is an EXACT duplicate right down to the fact that she used the original as her song. this is aclled telescope eyes, not cheer me up. you fucks.
Perez, New Buffalo is RUBBISH. So whiny and boring and over-produced. I've had her first album for almost 2 years and it's the biggest waste of my time ever, like my whiny-ass ex-boyfriend who was her only fan at the time.
HORRIBLE.
"Come Back" makes me want to report this fucking fanny to PETA for cat-harm.
Check out the female group Eisley… they're amazing!!!!
like her…kinda like missy higgins
I LOVE THIS SONG. :] LOVE YA PEREZ!
you're soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo late Perez..
fuck, you never read Pitchforkmedia.com?
Perez, I never comment on your site but I absolutely had to this time. She is phenomenal! I love discovering new music, thank you so much for bringing her to my attention! I am headed to iTunes now…xxox E
thanks for the good artist you sometimes featurs…keep them coming Peez
yes
Nah. Sorry … won't go anywhere. It's whiney…and being an Aussie I probably should back her, but "tall poppies" are everywhere and we Aussies love to cut them down. Not that tall poppy syndrome is the reason I don't like it, I just don't like it.
Put her next to other female singers and she sounds like a school child with a cheap keyboard.
LOVESHER!
this was on grey's anatomy in the fall, love it! they've got the best music featured on there…
BLESS YOU FOR INTRODUCING PEOPLE TO NEW BUFFALO
Re: Sam – you're a terrible human being:(
HELLO! Am i the first to mention that she sounds EXACTLY| LIKE Jem…the Welsh singer/songwriter (actually…not exactly sure bout the songwriter part)…..who is very popular in the UK from what I can tell….anyhow…what im trying to say is that someone has already "been there done that"…so 'good luck' "New Buffalo cause u might need it! = )
She looks like Madonna in that pic…
Dont really like it. nah.. not my cup of tea.
props to you for discovering Sally..she's a gem.
Though you are a few years late….she's awesome, yes, but old news to anyone who has every lived in Williamsburg, she's been on the scene for years, especially down under.
strange that nobody in australia has ever heard of her.she looks like princess diana in a bad wig
That looks like Ellen Degeneres
smart girl stupuid name
Dreamy. I adore it.
You said that was supposed to be good…
uuuuuuuuugh.
Perez - New Buffalo has been around FOREVER, get with it. You should have been mentioning her YEARS AGO.
every time you mention "new" music I want to pull my hair out because you're so fucking clueless its embarrassing.
Eh, okay. Not spectacular. Didn't beg me to go out and find more of her. She sounds a little like Sibylle Baier or Linda Perhacs.
sounds like she's gasping for air….someone give her an inhaler
PEREZ! man i totally heard this song before you! Its so pretty and the title just makes you feel wonderful about your day and the music video has her feeling wonderful about her day and its gorgeous! And i thought, why isn't this on your wedsite? And then it appeared but i am like, haha i beat you. (^^)Trixy SexVixon 9(^^)
I'd never heard of this band but loved the clip you posted so I headed over to iTunes to check out some more samples. Sooooo good; I just bought the album. Thank you for the heads up!
You know, now that I think about it, you may have been the one to introduce me to Regina Spektor, too … if that's the case, I have so much to thank you for. You've got great taste in music.
I don't mean to be rude, but I don't appreciate when you advertise indie bands that are good as with the fan base you have, it no longer makes them as less known and makes them more mainstream and thus radio picks them up and over plays their songs or allows other to download and over play there songs. Stop.
Re: ghdhgshjas –
Kill yourself.
And listen to Nina Simone while you do it, you uncultured swine.
thanks so much for turning us on to awesome music!!
I met New Buffalo when she was supporting Architecture in Helsinki like, 4 years ago. She's been around for like 5 or 6 yrs…
now, Architecture in Helsinki- THERE is a band you should prop… i think you'd fucking love them more than that shitty little band my friend is in… Operator Please…
hahaha sorry Ash, but your band SUCKS.
I LOVE new buffalo!! whole last album is amazinggg
This is the girl that wrote Fiests "1,2,3,4"….one of Australia's best!
love it!! thanks!
Re: Koosten – oh come on, it is good for the artist so they can actually support themselves doing what they are doing. ur whining cause you just might actually have to like a (gasp) mainstream artist that gets played on the radio, and i'm sure that just fucks with your cool image.
she sucks man
I'm sorry sooooooo zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Doesn't anyone else think she looks like Madonna in this pic?? And did she buy Perez a new Doll or something? This song sucks. lol
You cheered me up, Perez. Thanks for sharing.
Re: kitty – suck. this song is amazing- go listen to your britney.
ugh… sorry, but she is lame… :-s
i second #20 SAM
What is with you and the quirky out of tune singers??? get over your fat self.
Way out of tune, you are such a loserP.
She wrote " 1 2 3 4" for Feist actually…:)

Hey Perez
I'm from PEI Canada and I always always love your music picks. This one was really great. You should check out The Barnkatz on myspace, they play really fun, cute, folky rock, I think you'd really love them.
Hey Perez,
I'm from PEI, Canada. And I always love your music picks, this one is especially great. You should check out the barnkatz on myspace. They are this really funky, cute Canadian band. I think you'll love it.
I know those girls they're great!!!
I usually hate when someone takes the time out of their day to try and attract attention to some band they like but I just went to this band's myspace and it fucking rocked. Well the first track the second track was a little gay.
She sucks big huge donkey dick.
Old news, yawn.. They already use this song on grey's anatomy season 4 episode 11 to be specific, but i do agree it's a great song and voice.
episode 6 i mean, not episode11
Episode 6 i mean, not 11
Perez , you should put music up by Akcent and Parmis Khabbazi
BEAUTIFUL!
good god, this is AWFUL. I could sing this. she has a thin, off-key voice. horrible!!!!!
IFL NEW BUFFALO.
I heard one song on Queer as Folk (should've been longer than five seasons D: ) and fell in love.
Emotional Champ.
you have, without a doubt, the GREATEST ear for good music ever!!! i love you perez!!
Re: Koosten –
Ever think that maybe bands WANT to get played on the radio more? They like money as much as the rest of us.
Why are you just now writing about New Buffalo, she's been out for a couple years now
