Green Buzzard has announced a hometown show at The Lansdowne on Thursday Feb 6th to celebrate the release of his debut album, Amidst the Clutter & Mess.

Produced by Dave Sitek (TV On The Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Weezer) at his LA studio, the record covers a lot of themes: break ups (‘I Don’t Want To Be Alone’), resignation (‘Nothing’s Happening Here’), the desire to up stumps and retreat to a rural idyll (‘Country Living’), acerbic takedowns of Sydney’s greedy excesses (‘Suburban Dreaming’) and existential confusion, as life and the future seem to stretch out into uncertainty (‘Wooden Dog’). 

Ultimately though, Amidst the Clutter and Mess is a statement about learning to be comfortable with yourself, no longer keeping the world at arm’s length by telling fictional stories, or hiding behind fuzz and overproduction. And for a debut record, that makes perfect sense. It sounds like a coming of age.

Having sold out The Chippo Hotel in September, don’t sleep on tickets to catch Green Buzzard and his band playing tracks from his debut plus faves from his back catalogue as well!
