Improving upon its predecessor in virtually every way, Plains Of The Purple Buffalo uses more of what made their debut so fantastic, creating a very solid release. *Shels opts for rather vast song compositions upon this album, creating an almost dreamlike air and sprawling instrumental sections. Despite this, strong instrumentation, such as commanding guitars and pulsing drum beats, keep the release grounded enough so that it does not feel too far off for a listener to easily grasp. Brass sections are tastefully placed, usually in the more ambient, or quiet, portions of each song. This usage of brass instruments is extremely refreshing, providing a rather unique feel to quite a few songs. Consisting of a large variety of instrumental arrangement, Plains Of The Purple Buffalo does not allow a single moment to feel incomplete.Tracklist:
The vocals are the most notable part of this album, however. They are so pleasant, creating such beautiful melodies; excellent in pitch and execution each and every time. Vocals are not over used on this album, however. They often join in with the instruments for rather brief moments, usually consisting of only vocal sounds and not lyrics. Lyrics are not entirely absent upon this release, though. Quite a few tracks contain beautifully simple, yet moving, lyrics. Used very expertly, the singing only adds to each song, never drowning out the instruments and never being overtaken by the guitars, drums, bass, or brass sections.
Plains Of The Purple Buffalo is quite simply a breath of fresh air. It is so refreshingly upbeat and pleasing to listen to. While never being overwhelming or too much for the listener, not a dull moment can be found within this album. *Shels certainly knew what they were doing, and they did it well upon this release. Everything falls into order, and the whole LP flows seamlessly
