The White Buffalo has announced his eighth studio album.
Singer-songwriter Jake Smith will release 'Year Of The Dark Horse' through Snakefarm Records on November 11. Influenced by the changing seasons paralleled with the shifting of a relationship, the record was produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Jay Joyce at Nashville Neon Cross studio. Commenting on it, Smith said:
"You think we're a country band? A folk band? Americana? Rock? What the fuck are you gonna say now?! With this album, I wanted something outside of what I’ve ever done. I wanted to open up. Do something dangerous. I’m hard to put into a singular genre as it is, but now I really wanted to take away any kind of preconception or pigeon-holing."
He added: "And don’t ask me, cos I don't know what it is! It’s a genre-bending thing--there's elements and influences from ELO, Daniel Lanois, Tom Waits, The Boss, circus, pirate music, yacht rock, and I’m driving and pushing some of these numbers in a way I’ve never done before."
Smith, whose last album was 2020's 'On The Widow's Walk', will be accompanied by touring and recording musicians Christopher Hoffee and Matt Lynott for a run of Canadian shows in September, ahead of their first festival appearance of 2022 at Beachlife Festival in Los Angeles, California.
