BUHU

“If you’re looking for a crazy fun, electronica/post-pop with a sugary 80’s feel, search no longer: BUHU is here.” - KUTX

“Frontman Jeremy Rogers is a gargantuan personality; he grins sneakily while barking through a microphone rife with vocal distortion.” - Audiotree

Welcome to a hyper-fantastical reality born out of the sweet summer love between 80s babies and thrift store synth junkies. Carved from a bedrock of war drums by abnormal guitar melodies and textured with the digital impatience of Ableton, Austin, TX trio BUHU dare you to take the red pill and see what wonderland has to offer.

At the warp-core of the BUHU universe resides drummer Clellan Hyatt, bassist, synth-wrangler, and abstract programmer Juan Pablo Mendez, and guitarist / vocalist Jeremy Rogers. Together, they charge defiantly into the churning, gelatinous mass of post-1985 party rock, slashing away with sonic broadswords to reveal the essential truth within.

Relationshapes, their first full length - and the follow-up to the critically lauded 4-Track Cinemat live video EP - captures a flash-frozen portrait of the struggles of youthful love, emotional toxicity, and redemption between twentysomethings that aren't fully formed yet themselves. There is a tidal pull within the record, balancing the darkness with a profound feeling of happiness and confidence. “I want young people to feel empowered” explains Rogers. “It’s easy to feel lost and confused about who you are and your place in the world, but it’s the best time to explore yourself and the world around you.”

Their first, semi-official release as a trio was the 4-Track Cinemat. “We wanted to do something truly unique” explains Rogers. “We decided to record every instrument on every song in a different location and film it. We recorded in trees, under staircases, in food trucks and on bar patios... We recorded in a tattoo shop while I was getting a tattoo. So ridiculous.”

When it came time to craft Relationshapes the band held to their core ethos and recorded the bulk of the raw tracks themselves – apart from the drums, and not in trees this time. Collaborator Danny Reisch from Good Danny's introduced the band to Brad Bell (Arcade Fire, The War On Drugs, Spoon). The chemistry between all involved was immediate and undeniable, and they soon set to work. After tracking, the album was mixed by Bell and Mastered by Jeff Lipton (Andrew Bird, LCD Soundsystem, Battles).
