Full Album Streams- Plains of the Purple Buffalo by *shels

Ya, I know I posted a mellow post metal band last week and it was my intention to bring you something with a bit more high intensity energy this week, buuuut, then I saw that *shels have their catalog up on Bandcamp with great prices behind them ($7 or ~5€) as well as other great artist from their label, Shelsmusic.

Plains of the Purple Buffalo was one of my favorite albums of 2011 and the more I listen to it the more I love it.  If you enjoy some great, and mellow post-metal you cannot go wrong with this album as it is an example of best in genre.  The music has a certain cinematic feel to it and it is way to easy to get lost in the detailed soundscapes the band creates.  To save time (and be lazy) here’s the review of the album I wrote up when I first got my hands on this gem.  If I had to choose my favorite song of 2011 the first track of “Journey to the Plains” would get the #1 spot, such a beautiful song.  Give it a listen and check out Laurentian’s Atoll while you’re over on the Bandcamp page, it’s a bit harder edged and another great album from *shels.
