The White Buffalo - Releases his best album yet

February 12th 2016
Release

Country / Americana star releases his third studio album
 
American dark Blues / Country Singer / Songwriter The White Buffalo (Aka Jake Smith) releases his third studio LP 'Love and the death of Damnation” on February 12th via Earache Records. The White Buffalo paid a flying visit to the UK last week, which took in a session on Radio 2 with Dermot O'Leary (sending the album to the top of the Amazon "Movers and Shakers" chart the next day) plus a Sold Out!!! solo acoustic show at London’s Cargo. The first single from the album is 'I Got You',  a duet with Audra Mae which you can listen to it by clicking on this link: https://soundcloud.com/earacherecords/i-got-you-radio-edit/s-abyv5


Jake Smith’s reputation is based on solid and progressive leaps and bounds as an artist. The White Buffalo has received over twenty one million streams on YouTube since September 2014. Straddling the blurry lines of Country, Rock, Folk and Americana, with poignant narratives as dark and deadly as a drug deal gone south and big, bold anthems of love, the strength to survive and a rebel-like resilience, Smith can strip a story down into raw emotion. 'Love and the death of Damnation'. 

"It's the voice that burrows into you. Devil's growl. Sinner's lament. Smith's baritone echoes with villains and misfits, drunks and philistines. It curls through loneliness, sets out on crooked highways. It is an American voice cured in recession, war and betrayal, a resonant map where the spectral bleeds into dreams." - LA Times 
 
This year he joined the ranks of Emmy nominated songwriters for the original track 'Come join the Murder' featured as the season closer for FX's hit show Sons of Anarchy. Jake Smith has notched up nine songs on the show so far. You can also hear his tracks in 'Californication', and movies 'Safe Haven' and 'West of Memphis'. Leading guitar manufacturer Ernie Ball recently released a ten part docu-series 'Capturing The White Buffalo: The Recording of an American Songwriter'. The series follows the raw struggles and successes of Smith's writing and recording process, gives each song a new narrative, and introduces you to the album in a way that's altogether haunting, uplifting, and unforgettable.

"With this album, I really wanted to get back to songs... I wanted to get back to writing individual stories, as opposed to an extended narrative.  I wanted each song to make you feel something.  In the past, the songs have almost always been pretty dark.  But this time, I was also able to channel some happier stuff and write a couple of actual feel good songs.  It's also more varied musically.  I really made an effort to expand my sound, and to get out of my comfort zone as a songwriter." - Jake Smith (The White Buffalo)

'Love and the death of Damnation' is due to be released on CD and vinyl in Europe on February 12th, featuring three exclusive bonus tracks on the CD version and as a bonus 7' with all vinyl versions.
