████ ████
████ BUFFET LUNCH are a Scottish group who make it ████
████ their mission to craft satisfyingly imperfect ████
████ pop songs filled with imagery and humour.The ████
████ groupÆs elementary parts are Perry OÆBray ████
████ (Vocals/Keys/Guitar), Neil Robinson (Bass), ████
████ John Muir (Lead Guitar) & Luke Moran (Drums), ████
████ united by a shared love of music on the ABBA- ████
████ to-Beefheart axis. ████
████ ████
████ These four ricochet between Glasgow and ████
████ Edinburgh, creating music that bristles with ████
████ DIY spirit and upbeat wonkiness. Their tracks ████
████ are vigorous excursions, meandering into ████
████ clattersome terrain as often as hiking up into ████
████ the breezy, melodious foothills.The desire to ████
████ lead the listener along a curious tale helps ████
████ tie things together, showcasing a lyrical ████
████ playfulness that pins down their puzzle of ████
████ sound. ████
████ ████
████ Having been an active band for a few years, ████
████ playing regularly north of the border with ████
████ like-minds such as Irma Vep, Robert Sotelo and ████
████ Kaputt, Buffet Lunch spent early 2020 working ████
████ on the follow-up to their two EPs on Permanent ████
████ Slump.The fruits from such labour bore out as ████
████ the bandÆs debut album æThePower of RocksÆ, out ████
████ may 7th on UpsetTheRhythm. ████
████ ████
████ æThePower of RocksÆ was recorded in a Crofters ████
████ cottage/studio on the banks of Upper Loch Fyne ████
████ in Argyll, over four nights and five days at ████
████ the beginning of March 2020, before Covid-19 ████
████ made itself such an ongoing concern. Back then ████
████ four people could occupy the same space and ████
████ make music, lunch and dinner together. Days ████
████ fell into a pattern of long sessions and long ████
████ meals. ████
████ ████
████ The album came together as a luminous mix of ████
████ Buffet LunchÆs live chestnuts, some sparky ████
████ recent songs and some new material entirely ████
████ written and recorded in situ. All tracks were ████
████ recorded by Neil Robinson acting as the in- ████
████ house engineer. ████
████ ████
████ As the seriousness of the virus and talk of ████
████ national lockdowns developed - there was a ████
████ feeling of anticipation more than fear in the ████
████ air, but being holed up in cottage in a wild ████
████ corner of Scotland surrounded by snowy ████
████ mountains still took on an apocalyptic feel, ████
████ albeit an apocalypse where the band were safe ████
████ and overdubbing vocals. After leaving the ████
████ cottage, reality (as it must) set in and ████
████ finishing the album became a more remote task. ████
████ ████
████ Over the following months, an extended period ████
████ of listening awarded the recordings a deeper ████
████ realisation, as they bounced between band ████
████ members computers. Perry also started writing ████
████ on his Casio keyboard and collaborated on a ████
████ couple of songs (æTen TimesÆ & æAshleyÆs New ████
████ HaircutÆ) with Jayne Dent (of electronic music ████
████ project Me Lost Me), drawing on her ethereal ████
████ singing voice as a counterpoint to his own more ████
████ æspokenÆ vocals on the album. ████
████ ████
████ These gauzy, dreamlike tracks were then sent to ████
████ other members of Buffet Lunch to add their ████
████ respective parts, creating evocative new ████
████ dimensions to close each half ofthealbum with. ████
████ ████
████ The Power of RocksÆ rattles along like a ████
████ short-story collection, exploring a variety of ████
████ narratives. When it comes to the music itself, ████
████ Perry describes their approach as ôsee what ████
████ happensö but admits to a preference for simple ████
████ synth melodies, plenty of percussion, and ████
████ prickly guitar-parts. æRed AppleÆ opens the ████
████ album with a dizzy swagger, guitars and ████
████ keyboard notes swirling in forays whilst its ████
████ lyric tackles notions of social bravado. ████
████ æOrange PeelÆ follows equally serpentine with ████
████ its blattering tune and jagged, yet jolly ████
████ melodic twists. ████
████ ████
████ The themes across the album are wide-ranging ████
████ and personal, from irritation with out of touch ████
████ politicians (æPebbledashÆ), to love letters to ████
████ seaside living (æBladderwrackÆ), to even the ████
████ frailty and confusion of old age (æSaid ████
████ BernieÆ, æIt Helps to KnowÆ). Title track ████
████ æThePower of RocksÆ is an ode to the power of ████
████ nature sunk within a rolling wave of cheery ████
████ jangle. ôDo you believe in the power of rocks ████
████ when the sun is too hot on your face?ö sings ████
████ Perry as the song zigzags with consequence. æHe ████
████ Wore Two HatsÆ sports similarly bop-worthy ████
████ riffs and addictive nods as it deals with its ████
████ story of savvy man whoÆd bitten off more than ████
████ he could chew. ████
████ ████
████ Buffet LunchÆs debut album accomplishes a lot ████
████ in its brief 38 minutes. It stuns and startles, ████
████ intrigues and entwines, drawing the listener ████
████ further into its characterful world. When asked ████
████ about any intent posed with this debut record ████
████ Perry confides that ôwe hope people can hear ████
████ the joy the band had making the album and the ████
████ curiosity and frustration that went into the ████
████ writing. ████
████ ████
████ There was no process or design, but there is ████
████ detail, and deliberateness in our wish to ████
████ explore and create.ö ItÆs this attentive focus ████
████ alongside a keen sense of humour that really ████
████ sets Buffet Lunch apart, with ideas darting ████
████ wilfully to and from the poignant truths at ████
████ hand. ████
