Buffet Lunch - Perfect Hit! (2025) Hi-Res

Less than nine months after their For Display Purposes Only LP, Scottish indie pop outfit Buffet Lunch return with a new full-length album on the menu. Its title Perfect Hit! should not be taken too seriously, because we are dealing with a band that values ​​rattling and fallibility (you know, we like that). The updated lineup—founders Perry O’Bray and Luke Moran and new members Matthew Lord and Jack Shearer—charms with jangly melodies, semi-nonchalant vocals and witty lyrics.

It’s all lo-fi and a bit wobbly, but that only makes it more appealing, especially when you realize that some of the songs are quite personal, built from small moments and big questions. Highlights include the title track (about a swordfish sighting), Blue Chairs, Blue Floors, Blue Folders (written in the waiting room of a maternity ward), and Blip (on the importance of kindness)—chiming anthems for the restless and reflective.
