YEAR OF THE DARK HORSE
RELEASed on NOVEMBER 11TH, 2022. NORMAL RULES DO NOT APPLY.
“My latest album is a sonic and lyrical journey of one lunar year in one man’s life. Four seasons in 12 songs. Loosely based on my twisted truths and adventures. I wanted to show the seasonal effect on the heart and the mind. I also wanted to abandon, sonically, everything. Escape the acoustic clutches and genres I’ve been associated with and shackled to. I wanted to make my headphones album. Every song bleeds into the next. It’s different from anything I’ve ever done before. Welcome to…
Year Of The Dark Horse.”
– Jake Smith // The White Buffalo

Out with the old, the organic, the expected, the tried; in with the new – new producer, new studio, new location, no distractions, no looking back…
Enter ‘Year Of The Dark Horse’…
