Avi Buffalo

Avi Buffalo is the name that Long Beach native, Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg, uses for his musical creations.  Achieving success -- in the form of a label and album release -- shortly after leaving high school, his music is a confusing amalgam of styles.  It can be dreamy and mystical like psychedelia, though he has a penchant for hum-worthy pop melodies (Most notably with the harmonics on "Truth Sets In.").  At times, Zahner-Isenberg croons admirably in his falsetto like a contemporary Robert Plant, or recent peer, Andrew VanWyngarden.  His debut album, which was released last year, is a nice collection of indie pop gems without any evidence of saccharine instrumentation and over-production.  Enjoy!
