Hugh Montgomery 

Avi Buffalo: Avi Buffalo

Foul-mouthed they may be, but these US jangle merchants make Hugh Montgomery swoon
  
  


It's an odd love song that's entitled Summer Cum and implores its addressee to "leave all your stains with me", but such are the winningly off-beam ways of Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg. A recent high school graduate from California, he and his band trade in yearning, Byrdsian jangle-pop primed to make the heart swoon, while tempering the air of wistfulness with a healthy dose of lyrical crudity: see alsoWhat's in it For?, a tale of relationship miscommunication, where he movingly compares his paramour's lips to "little pieces of bacon". Rarely have the vagaries of teenage desire been so deftly and melodiously delineated.
