Ballad-like 'Memories of You' is vaguely reminiscent of the lamenting 'Jessica' on their first album, though this time round we're given some relief from the melancholy in the form of a clean, buoyant guitar solo.
Frontman Avi's guitar playing throughout the track is pleasantly familiar, as is his unashamedly crude lyricism, e.g. "Bitch I'm on fire, you got Magnum desire", and something about his boner. For those who have had the true pleasure of listening to the 'Avi Buffalo' album, you'll be aware that talk of flaccid penises and 'Summer Cum' is commonplace. To the poor souls who haven't: don't worry, you won't be offended; Avi's cutesy falsetto fools you into believing that these words aren't meant any way but innocently.
For a band of such unequivocal talent and originality to have lay dormant for four years, it's not unreasonable of us to expect something special upon their return. Luckily, Avi Buffalo do not disappoint; 'Memories of You' is charming, woozy, and teases us with an almost-promise that the new album is going to be something pretty great.
