By The Ocean By The Sea

Buffalo Sunn's first album, By The Ocean By The Sea, was released on 10 October 2014 on Reekus Records. The album was produced by Grammy winning producer Pat McCarthy.[4] The album debuted on the Irish indie album charts at #2, and the overall album charts at #14.[5] Both The Irish Times and The Irish Daily Star gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, with The Irish Times complimenting the band's "strong, intuitive sense of West Coast US music."[6]

The band has performed at multiple music festivals over the world, including Music Matters in Singapore, CMJ Music Marathon in the USA, Oxegen, Electric Picnic and Hard Working Class Heroes in Ireland.[9] They have developed a reputation as an impressive live act with Today Online (Singapore) writing "Buffalo Sunn endeared themselves to lovers of reverb-drenched country-folk coming across like a post-punk version of Crosby Stills & Nash, resplendent with their angelic harmonies."[10] In February 2015 they embarked on a tour of Germany to promote the release of their album in the country.[11]

The band followed their German tour with a tour of the United States in March and April 2015, kicking off at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas and playing dates across the West Coast as part of the Passport Approved Spring 2015 Tour.[12][13] They completed their tour with an appearances at A&R Worldwide's Musexpo in Los Angeles, California.[14]
