New Single – Harmony to My Heartbeat

24 Nov 2009

Sally’s new single Harmony to My Heartbeat is available now through iTunes.

Co-produced with Francois Tetaz (Architecture in Helsinki, Lior) the song is emotional and uplifting. Full-bodied and joyous in sound, it is Sally’s most vibrant work to date. As immediate as it is universal, Harmony to My Heart Beat is a colourful love song, a Wall of Sound for 2010.

Bits and pieces

16 Nov 2009

The new album is coming along well and will be available in early 2010. Franc and I are still hard at work, and I’m focusing on vocal takes at the moment and trying to think of album titles. I’ll probably start the new year with some live performances too.

It was lovely to return to the stage briefly back in June, and an honor to perform Sarah Blasko’s ‘All Coming Back’ and to have some of my songs covered by Holly Throsby, Grand Salvo and Firekites!

There are a couple of pictures from the night here.

For those of you who remember the Broken Social Scene remix of ‘I’ve Got you and You’ve Got Me’, American film maker Karen Abad has made a clip for the song which you can see on my MySpace page.

New album!

18 May 2009

It has been a long time between updates, but there is definitely a lot going on! New Buffalo is currently recording a new album with producer Franc Tetaz (Architecture in Helsinki, Gotye).

This week Sally has been working on vocal takes, and is channeling Daryl Hannah in Splash, Uptown Girl Christie Brinkley, and an unknown woman in Paris with a scarf, for some romantic inspiration!

Those in Sydney can catch New Buffalo performing a rare solo set, which will feature some of her new songs, at Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Monday June 8. The performance is part of a benefit evening to raise funds for Sydney radio station FBi.

Sally will soon be speaking with Franc Tetaz at Amplified Sounds of Tasmaina, an event hosted by Arts Tasmania. The seminar topic is ‘The Song Writer and the Producer’ and it will take place in the Function Room at Irish Murphy’s, Salamanca Place, Hobart, from 4.10-5.10pm on Saturday July 18

Also, New Buffalo features as a guest vocalist on the beautiful debut album We Need to Talk by Jessica Says.

Whilst on the topic of other beautiful artists, we’ve heard that Bon Iver has recently performed New Buffalo’s ‘Emotional Champ’ while on tour in the US. If anyone was at Bon Iver’s performance at Cape Cinema in Dennis, MA on Monday May 11, we’d love to hear from you!

Sally Seltmann – Appetite

1 Aug 2008

We are excited to announce that New Buffalo will be performing live as part of the upcoming theatre production Appetite.

Directed by Kate Denborough, and combining original live music from New Buffalo with text from award-winning playwright Ross Mueller [No Man’s Land, The Store Room], and featuring a fusion of dance, theatre and visual design, Appetite promises to be a sensory feast.

Appetite is the story of a successful woman on the eve of her 39th birthday.
Ambushed by her own sense of disquiet, she invites her closest family and friends to dinner but – as the night progresses, and realising that her hunger for life, for lust, for sensation has disappeared – she is inspired to change.

New Buffalo fans in Melbourne, Australia are in for a real treat, as Appetite will be staged as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival in October. Check out the TOURS page for performance dates and ticketing info.
