“On each of their releases to date, Buke & Gase have never been anything less than absolutely thrilling” - Pitchfork

For fans of DIY art-rock bands like Deerhoof, Dirty Projectors, Tuneyards, Shellac, and possibly progressive metal, such as Tool.

Buke & Gase garnered new levels of attention when NPR Music showcased them in their live webcast from CMJ. Smart music lovers around the world were blown away by the band’s uncategorizable sound. One commenter dubbed them “fiery metal-infused indie rock,” while another suggested an “avant-folk duo.”

The band’s second album, ‘General Dome’, finds them evolving their already innovative sound. The band rented a cavernous empty room in between heavily used railroad tracks and the Hudson River to set up a temporary recording studio. The recordings have hints of their surroundings, such as natural reverb, train horns, rumbling annoyances. The size of the new space led to a grander songwriting style. As per usual, the band recorded and mixed the album themselves.
