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!

Check out the exquisite Cheer Me Up Thank You below and then you must CLICK HERE to listen to some other gems from New Buffalo.

Did we gush enough?

Ya, she's that good!

Absolutely beautiful. I love Feist and Regina Spektor as well.

Female singer-songwriter, vocalists, are my weakness too!

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.

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.

yes
Spengogs says – reply to this

28

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.

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.

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.
Gwen says – reply to this

43

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.

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.
Koosten says – reply to this

47

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.

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…

hahaha sorry Ash, but your band SUCKS.

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.

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.
Andie says – reply to this

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.
