Cordelia and the Buffalo, "Hands Like Guns"

Cordelia and the Buffalo is an electronic indie rock band led by Berklee student Cordelia Vizcaino, a Mexican-American musician, singer, songwriter, and producer. The Texas native—a vocalist who plays keyboards and synthesizers—draws her musical inspiration from Mexican Indian tribes and Native American cultures. She formed the band in 2011 with classmates Yusuke Sato (guitar), Rodrigo Gramitto (guitar), Diego Diaz (drums), Dan McCallum (bass), and Dag Hanken (percussion/synths). With band members hailing from Alaska, Japan, Mexico, Norway, and Venezuela, Cordelia and the Buffalo fuse energetic beats, exotic instruments, powerful lyrics, and strong melodies. CATB's "Hands Like Guns" is one of 11 tracks appearing on Dorm Sessions 10, the latest release from Berklee's student-run Heavy Rotation Records. The new album features music from student and alumni artists, a complilation that mixes rock, folk, indie pop, psychedelic soul, R&B, electronic, and Latin pop.
