Digiwallet Some places you feel like you only sort of fit in and it is thistheme that permeates Houston based folk rock band Buxton’s new aptlytitled album Half A Native. One of th e leading lights of an emerging musicscene from a city with a burgeoning youth culture, Buxton have won 2Houston Press music awards as best Houston folk/americana band aswell as best male vocals (Sergio Trevino). Their new album ventures into vast sonic territories, sometimespairing atmospheric piano with off-kilter electric guitar, blanketed byTrevino’s heart-clenched voice and melancholic but optimistic lyrics."We take from a lot of different genres and present it in a way that I thinkis most honest for us,” Trevino says. “You’ll hear rock, folk, country,ambience, and distortion, all interpreted through us.” Recorded in Los Angeles with Thom Monahan (Peter, Bjorn & John,Devendra Banhart and Vetiver), the 11 new tracks broadcast a wanderingsound, from the dusty tones of guitar-slinging anthems to lonesomeacoustic affairs that look outward and within. Their latest effort ismusic for the search for home; the long journey to find somewhere,something, or someone that makes everything fall into place.
