Avi Buffalo’s music is all shimmering twilight. On his self-titled 2010 debut and his 2014 follow-up, At Best Cuckold, Buffalo’s songs focus intently on the fleeting moments between youth and the jaded self-disgust of adulthood. Lyrics oscillate between melancholic nostalgia of “Won’t Be Around No More” (“Asked if I was ready, to say I loved you then/Said I suppose I am, I think I did but knew it wasn’t right”) and the juvenile absurdity of tracks like “Memories of You” and its fuzzy allusions to boners. His guitar solos, too, carry that racing, nearly fumbling excitement of fingers working a bra clasp. Though he’ll perform solo for part of this tour, Buffalo’s bringing a full band to his Portland performance, where his lushly layered instrumentations are sure to shine. SAM BOVARNICK
