The first word on Buck Meek’s new record, Two Saviors, is ‘pareidolia.’ It is a word about recognizing shapes where none were intended to exist— like searching for images in the clouds. It is an uncommon word, with a beautiful sound, and serves as an apt guide through these new songs of Buck’s, which are themselves uncommon and beautiful, and which invite a deep, cloud-gaze state of attention.
The record was made in Louisiana, but it is important to start with Texas. It is the hidden point of dilation that makes all of these songs cohere, gel, carbonate. Think about the Texas flag; one red stripe, one white stripe, a field of blue and the lone star— the base unit of the American formula.

For Sid The Cat shows, we will require that attendees be fully vaccinated for Covid-19, final dose being at least 2 weeks prior to date of show. In addition, masks will be required indoors unless actively eating or drinking. These are the guidelines we must follow to ensure that we do our part in keeping our community safe.

Following his youth in Wimberley, TX, playing blues, manouche jazz, and western swing in bars and dance halls across the state, Buck moved to Brooklyn and released two solo EPs, Live from a Volcano (2013), and Heart Was Beat (2015). Concurrently, he met songwriter Adrianne Lenker in 2012, and after a year of fervent collaboration, they recorded two EPs, A-sides and B-sides (2014), then from there expanded into a four-piece, Big Thief, with Max Oleartchik and James Krivchenia, and have since released four records, Masterpiece (2016), Capacity (2017), UFOF (2019), and Two Hands (2019).    In 2018, along with Austin based label Keeled Scales, he released a self-titled LP, Buck Meek - a kaleidoscope of human relationships; of widows, daughters, flight attendants, best friends, bar flies, neighborhood heroes, and troublemakers, that illuminates mysticism in the temporal, humor unearthed in tragedy, the strength of vulnerability, and the words unspoken that elucidate love. In late 2018, he moved to the mountains north of Los Angeles and wrote many of the songs for Two Saviors, recorded with the same players that you hear on Buck Meek, who have circled the country together on tour numerous times in the years between. While Buck Meek is a yarn of blue-collar fairy tales and character driven narratives, Two Saviors emerges as a cathartic, naked confession of heartbreak, resiliency, and enchantment.
