Buxton - A Family Light [CD]
- Wallet
Houston - TX based band, Buxton, has released multiple albums through New West over the years but back in 2008, the guys released one of their first albums, A Family Light, that never really saw the light of day. At the time, the band briefly distributed it on CD only, so not many folks were ever able to hear it. Flash forward to this September 15th - Strolling Bones Records will be releasing a completely remastered version on CD, vinyl, and DSPs to celebrate the album's 15 year anniversary.
The album appeared suddenly. Within about a week, A Family Light was pretty much fully written.
“Despite the old cliché, the inspiration for this album stemmed from heartbreak,” describes band member Sergio Trevino. “Fresh out of a failed relationship, I took to writing, resisting the temptation to create bitter or angsty love songs. I tried to channel my emotions into something larger. Looking back, with the benefit of time and distance from the album, I realize that it kinda became a response to my observations of the family dynamics, and how strange and complicated those predetermined roles are.”
