Album Notes

“If there were any justice in the South African music scene, the Buckfever Underground would be huge. Since 1998 they have consistently produced albums of stark originality that make the majority of their peers look like half-arsed chancers and The Buckfever Underground Saves is yet another impressive chapter in this band's career.” – Mail & Guardian

Saves was recorded in June 2005 and while post production was officially completed in October that year, life got in the way and the album was only ready for release in August 2007. As The Buckfever Underground’s first full album and third official release, Saves is another clear step in the group’s development. Featuring 11 tracks, Toast Coetzer’s lyrics are as incisive and observant as ever while the band finds its sound drawing from its richest landscape yet.

“A lush world of sound and gripping, mysterious and truly home-grown poetics.” – Die Beeld

“A Buckfever Underground gig is a rare and treasured event… their performance is incendiary; it's like watching a bunch of musicians at war with each other.” – Mail & Guardian
