Buffalo Tom returns to the fray with a new single off of their upcoming album: "Jump Rope," out on May 31 through Scrawny Records, following a release last March.
Dubbed "Autumn Letter," this is the first song the musical act put together fresh out of the global pandemic that saw the world take a collective pause. It is now available on all major streaming platforms.

About Buffalo Tom's 'Autumn Letter'
Band frontman and singer Bill Janovitz said that their newest offering "reminds [him] of a certain kind of classic Buffalo Tom song from our Let Me Come Over era."
"It's big, open chords are strummed way up high on the capo'd guitar neck, with a little Van Morrison Celtic melodic tinge," he added.
If this reference doesn't clue you over the intense maturity of the band's soundscape profile, then maybe this third offering from their forthcoming record would, as the band returns to their 1990s-era sound that kickstarted their well-respected run as a college-rock collective.
Although the trio had a considerably lengthy hiatus starting in 1998, they picked up where they left in 2007 and endeavored further with their "Three Easy Pieces" album.
Now, they are on their third album since the restart. With "Jump Rope," Janovitz and bandmate Chris Colbourn continue to challenge themselves as songwriters, penning groovy tracks for a great rock band thirty-eight years in.
Buffalo Tom makes use of that acquired maturity and plays into more somber tracks tackling themes of resilience, while not losing their sonic identity of playfulness.
