Richard Buckner
Willow 7''
Merge
2012
Rating: 6.5 out of 10
I read somewhere this is the first seven inch Richard Buckner has ever released, which seems impossible but then again I can't think of any others by him. I guess he's just always been a full album sort of guy. Released for Record Store Day 2012 (though apparently not as one of those limited record nerd releases as you can still order it from Merge), these two previously unreleased songs are from the recording sessions for his last full-length "Our Blood." Both songs certainly sound a lot like his previous album, and would have fit in fine there. Neither are groundbreaking achievements, but still a fine listen from one of my favorite voices in music today.
