Three years after Temporary Time, Roger Sellers is back with a record built out of grief. Filters, out September 4 on Nettwerk, is Bayonne’s fourth album — the Austin-based producer processing the loss of his father through field recordings, silken synth-work, and piano-percussion that layers quietly before it lands. Call it avant-pop, call it atmospheric; what it actually sounds like is someone doing careful, honest work. The Filters Tour brings it to Buffalo Iron Works on Monday, October 5.
About the Show
Bayonne plays Buffalo as part of a US run stretching from June through late November 2026, with Bad Snacks opening. Filters is his first album in three years, building on Temporary Time‘s mournful, pop-minded foundation while pushing toward acceptance: the synthesizer arrangements and elegantly constructed melodies doing the emotional work that the earlier record sat with rather than resolved. The lead single “Oxygen” is his first music video in a decade, and Sellers is direct about what the track is doing: “In a lot of my songs, I’m having a conversation with myself. ‘Oxygen’ is that internal conversation about believing in myself again.” Clash Magazine calls it a showcase of “astute melodies with depth, featuring pleasing tones and interesting textures.” By October, the album will have been out a month, giving the room something to come in already knowing.
Bad Snacks opens. She spent 15 years in classical violin training before moving to LA, where she built a production practice that pulls hip-hop, electronic, folk, and classical into the same space — synth soundscapes over string arrangements, with neo-soul and R&B in the mix. She went viral through Andrew Huang’s 4 Producers challenge in 2019 and later served as assistant professor at Berklee’s Electronic Production and Design department. Her 2025 EP Midnight is the most recent work; “Howling” and “Blue Moon” are the place to start. Two producers who started from different traditions and landed somewhere close to the same atmospheric space, which makes this feel less like a bill and more like a conversation.
