Lead single »Disunion« out now from doom folk troubadour Buzzard’s fourth LP, »Hush Now« out October 16th!
Buzzard presents its 4th doom folk metal LP installment »Hush Now«, expanding on the one-man band’s trademark blend of heavy fuzz guitar, Americana instrumentation, and socially relevant songwriting. From mellotron to mandolin, Sabbathian riffs to Dylan-esque wordplay, H.P. Lovecraft to Bill Hicks, »Hush Now« is the fullest expression yet of Buzzard’s unique artistic vision.
Following the success of the politically charged 2025 EP »Everything Is Not Going To Be Alright« (expanded to a 10-song LP earlier this year), »Hush Now« broadens its scope. »Disunion« delivers a state of the union address to the void above. »Fireball« is an ode to the music of America. »Knock On The Door« laments the plight of the pawn. »Contaminate, Consume« reveals the purpose of humanity’s finite tenure on Earth.
The 10-track LP has been mastered for vinyl by MixCave Mastering with original art by Indonesian artist Bintang Pratama. As bonus tracks the CD version of »Hush Now« adds the 6 singles released in 2026, including »The Bombing Will Continue Until There’s Peace«, »Cinderella’s Midnight Surprise«, and »Hillbilly Fuckery (Original Version)«, all remastered for digital in a digipak featuring additional artwork by Doomolith. EP »Everything Is Not Going To Be Alright« will also be released on cassette by Doomshire Tapes on August 7th.
But wait, there’s more! Also coming 10/16 is a 7-inch pressing of »Hillbilly Fuckery (Extended WTF International Choir Version)«, wherein over 50 Buzzard fans contributed recordings of themselves saying, “What the fuck?”
An apocalyptic lullaby for the absurdity that is 2026, »Hush Now« suggests that everything, in fact, is going to be alright. As the album’s penultimate track »Take Comfort« proclaims:
“One fine day, the Sun will burn this wicked world away/I take comfort from the fact the Sun will explode some day.”

Praise for 2025 EP »Everything Is Not Going To Be Alright«:
“Christopher Thomas Elliott proves beyond doubt that political music doesn’t have to be preachy or one-dimensional when it’s written with this much heart, talent, and passion. This is an album that’s loud, uncompromising, emotional, and overflowing with soul.” – Helge Neumann, The Ripple Effect
“…in the anthemic defiance of “Doom Folk Fury,” I’ve found both catharsis and comfort, and felt a little less alone in the inflicted terrors of this moment for that. While free speech lasts, I can hardly think of a better use to put it toward.” – JJ Koczan, The Obelisk
“… a brilliantly observed and progressively subversive record that’s reflecting our current political age.” – Steve Howe, Outlaws Of The Sun
“It’s hard not to like this album… the sound of a blues rock troubadour fighting the good fight – left-wing and doom-bent.” – Pete, Ninehertz
“It’s all performed with such fluidity and passion that one cannot help but be swept up by the glory that these seven tracks boast in heaps… It hasn’t even been seven months since their universally acclaimed album [Mean Bone] earlier this year, but the dire stake of the world itself has forced Buzzard to move in a way that only they can do in such magnificent fashion.” – Vinterd, Headbanger Reviews
