Boston-based indie faves Buffalo Tom, having recently wrapped an acclaimed run of sold out U.S. and U.K. shows marking the 25th anniversary of their alt-rock masterpiece Let Me Come Over, have confirmed their first new album in six years, Quiet and Peace, due March 2, 2018 via Scrawny/Schoolkids Records.

The compelling 11-song set finds the trio—singer-guitarist Bill Janovitz, bassist-vocalist Chris Colbourn and drummer Tom Maginnis—simultaneously mining their best-known sonic elements while breaking new ground on emotionally resonant new tunes such as “All Be Gone,” “Overtime,” “Roman Cars,” “Freckles” and “CatVMouse.” Full of nostalgic and dusky imagery, much of Quiet And Peace emerges from New England's less visited darker corners, offering a sort-of poetic travelogue of faded colors and woods illuminated in the light of the seaside.

Buffalo Tom's first collection since 2011's Skins, Quiet and Peace was mixed by John Agnello (Kurt Vile, Sonic Youth, The Hold Steady) and marks the band's first collaboration with producer and fellow Boston alt-rock legend David Minehan, renowned ex-leader of the Neighborhoods.

“We're pretty lucky to have such loyal fans,” says Maginnis, “but I guess it's not totally luck, as we worked pretty hard in the early days to play a lot of secondary markets and colleges and out-of-the-way cities across Europe. And of course the songs have a lot to do with it too. We've had our ups and downs over the years, but we're in a great place now, because now we can just do this when we want. When the feeling hits us, it's fairly easy to fire up the old BT machine for a stretch and then let it go back to sleep for a while.”
