Monumento della poetica alt folk dall’ inconfondibile vocazione ascetica, Richard Buckner è da sempre punto di riferimento per molti songwriter contemporanei. Bon Iver l’ha citato come sua fonte di ispirazione principale e le sue prestigiose collaborazioni con personaggi di spicco del mondo underground americano sono molteplici (dai Giant Sand a Marc Ribot, da John McEntire a Dave Schramm fino a David Grubbs e Steve Shelley). Ellittico, impressionistico ed empatico, come sostiene Pitchfork. Un live set unico ed affascinante.
There are three kinds of American folk artist: those who sit, contented, on a back porch contemplating America’s landscape and ways; those for whom its landscape and ways are something to stand against or move boldly through; and those whose America is a shadowy, impressionistic place that moves inside of them. This [latter] is the area that the sombre-voiced Richard Buckner has been exploring since 1994.

”Buckner remains one of the most intriguing songwriters working, using a style that’s more likely to show up in anthologies of 20th-century literature.” PITCHFORK
“Since his 1994 debut, “Bloomed,” Buckner’s regularly released excellent albums. It’s less an epiphany than a meditation.” | THE WASHINGTON POST
