New Buffalo


New Buffalo is Sally Seltmann, a woman from Australia who makes some really, really beautiful music. Similar to Feist or Cat Power, her songs are driven by her vocals and lyrics, while the instruments are there to add just a little extra charm.

"Cheer Me Up Thank You" is the first track on her (fairly) new album Somehwere, Anywhere. and it also is my favorite track on that album. The song is a happy song, quite simply about someone who cheers her up all the time. Her voice, in addition to the simple strumming of a guitar, creates a very delicate, sincere song that captivates me. I hope it captivates you, too!
