Release Date: October 13th, 2017

EXCLUSIVE limited edition of The White Buffalo's brand new album, "Darkest Darks, Lightest Lights". Coming on a stunning gold vinyl, this edition also includes a 12x12" photo card of Jake Smith aka The White Buffalo, hand-signed by the man himself. Also included are two fantastic back patches, featuring both the band and album logos.

On new album 'Darkest Darks, Lightest Lights', The White Buffalo takes the trademark blue collar sound and offers up an album that twists and turns through mini-dramas, rock n’roll redemption and never ending soul-searching. The tradition of sombre storytelling that made The White Buffalo such a hit with fans of previous albums is alive and well here;

‘Robbery’ employs coarse language with a ‘cops and robbers’ narrative ending with the fugitive running from “flashlights, hounds and gas”, while ‘Border Town/Bury Me in Baja’ has an dead-end town setting, where there’s no way out from any number of dark demons. Every time The White Buffalo sings such a song, cinematic scenes come to mind dripping with atmosphere and character. The man himself explains:

“Vocally, I went all the way with each composition or narrative. The songs guide me where to go and I follow aimlessly. Diving deeper into each character, each emotion.”

As always with The White Buffalo, there’s an upside. ‘The Heart and Soul of the Night’ contains enough swagger and promise with its celebration of a time free from worry or responsibility - “windows down, the seat way back, and the radio up”. And when it comes to the introspective and the solitary, its hard to doubt the sincerity of plaintive moments like ‘The Observatory’ and ‘I Am the Moon’.

“Musically, I expanded and explored places I never had before. Tackling new styles and genres previously undiscovered to me. I've always taken great pleasure in being difficult to categorize. To be outside any particular genre, scene, or box. On this album there is no box.  Each song is what it is with no boundaries.

With The White Buffalo you get honesty, intensity and integrity but with a warmth and spirit that’s hard to ignore. Its classic American songwriting in the grand tradition, free of pretence, free of fakery.My hope is that this album will touch people.  Make people feel.  The good, the bad, and the ugly.  The darkest darks, lightest lights."

In the unlikely event of the item you receive from us not being as specified, please contact us as soon as possible. For the vast majority of our listings, we have more of each item in stock, and will be able to send a replacement out to you. However, we do ask that you return the original item first, but we will pay for the postage!

In the unfortunate event of us not being able to replace the item, we will refund you in full, including the original postage cost. Again, we must insist that the item is returned to us first, but again, we will pay for the cost of returning it to us!

If you order a t-shirt from us and it does not fit, most of the time, we have alternative sizes available and will be happy to exchange it for you. Once again, we must insist that the original item is returned to us first; however, we will not charge you any extra for posting the replacement.

This is the official eBay store for Earache Records, the extreme metal label formed in Nottingham in the late 80s. As we are the label that released the majority of titles listed on this ebay store, we pay royalties to the bands for sales from this store! It also means you can rest assured that ALL items sold from this ebay store are 100% official. We always have new releases available for pre-order, and are the only store on ebay to GUARANTEE that we will dispatch all pre-orders the week BEFORE the release date! Each pre-order listing has specific dates for postage, and where possible, we often include free promotional items with these pre-orders.

The store is run by one person, meaning that you will never get mixed answers from people about your orders, and there is no miscommunication. I answer all questions, I process all orders, and I pack and post the majority of orders too! This means that I can delivery the quality personal service that you usually only get from private sellers, not from business sellers. Still not convinced about our customer service?
