Buffalo Tom offers an early listen of Autumn Letter, the latest single from their forthcoming album Jump Rope. Recorded at Woolly Mammoth Sound, “Autumn Letter” was the first song the group tackled fresh out of pandemic quarantine.”It reminds me of a certain kind of classic Buffalo Tom song from our Let Me Come Over era,” says Bill Janovitz. “It’s big, open chords are strummed way up high on the capo’d guitar neck, with a little Van Morrison Celtic melodic tinge.”
“Autumn Letter” is the third single from their highly anticipated tenth studio album Jump Rope available May 31st on Scrawny Records. To support the release, Buffalo Tom will tour across the U.S. this summer before embarking on a European tour this fall.
