After three songs from Two Saviors, Buck treats us to a new song written in quarantine titled "The Undae Dunes," once again drawing pictures in the sky, this time of rockets and perhaps an astronaut and a love, all from the back of a Cruiser. The Texas native has a tender voice with a bit of a yodel and a resplendent way with words. Pareidolia is, as Buck Meek explains, "this human instinct to put symbol to stimulus." He says, "I've been spending this time of solitude in the canyon here spending a lot of time observing the clouds and things" - in other words, finding shapes and objects in clouds and objects where none intended to exist and perhaps turning them into stories or songs or just letting your mind wander. Bob Boilen July 20, 2022I love seeing friends playing comfortably at home, especially when those friends are members of my favorite band. IT WAS IN AUSTRALIA THAT SHE MET THE BAND BIG THIEF DOING A SUPPORT SHOW. Buck Meek is singing about the clouds and his favorite new word, pareidolia, which also happens to be the opening track to his 2021 album, Two Saviors. HARD AND COMFORT NPRS BOB BOILEN SPEAKS OF HER PERFORMANCE ON TINY DESK.
But here, home is Buck's Toyota Land Cruiser in Topanga Canyon, Calif. More likely, I'd be in a dark club Buck's intense electric guitar and backing vocals are a part of what makes up my favorite rock band these days, Big Thief. The back of a van on a sunny day holding an acoustic guitar is a far cry from the usual setting where I'd see Buck Meek.
