Buffalo’s latest release, “Gamla Stjärna” (“Old Star”) has the rare quality of feeling familiar almost immediately. The song is situated in the landscapes of Västerbotten in northern Sweden and captures the pensive mood that descends when the summer is over and everyday life resumes. Nights at the pub, long walks, late drives, all part of a bigger meditation on where life is heading. Beneath its quiet charm lies a quietly powerful idea, life goes on under the same old star. Buffalo finds the beauty in that familiarity, transforming the mundane into something comfortably contemplative and emotionally rich.
