Swedish singer-songwriter Tom Levin’s Them Buffalo is work full of substance and grit. A kind of anti-venom for whitewashed indie music that is often touted as “authentic.”
We have the pleasure of premiering Tom’s single “Mind’s Eye” which is one of the more arresting tracks off the album. Full of lighthearted poetry and saintly aspirations, the song powers through the speakers on a pilgrimage for the truth—seen through the mind’s eye.
The music has a natural folk-rock appeal that is offset by Levin’s highly compressed radio band vocals and versatile lyrics that are imbued with real spiritual integrity. His personal accounts of searching for higher meaning are inspiring, touching, and often full of transcendent emotion. One can applaud him for the sheer personal touch that defines his work—and the fact that the complementing sound is rousing, lovely, and fun is simply icing on the cake.
