"Buffalo Run" by Orville Peck

SUBPOP | 2019

This track from the mysterious country singer Orville Peck begins with slow and deliberate guitar chords, and the lyrics “Take a ride on my makeup”. Like a spark of inspiration blooming into a grand creative statement, the song speeds up, becoming wild and triumphant but still grounded by Peck’s rich vocals.

“Buffalo Run” is a standout track from Orville Peck’s debut album Pony, out last month.
