Zahner-Isenberg began writing and recording songs at home on his computer during his 10th grade year in high school, and debuted a full electric band at the beginning of his junior year. The group played a number of local shows in Long Beach before being asked to play in Los Angeles. A year later Zahner-Isenberg began recording songs with Aaron Embry, and these recordings began to form parts of the band's first record.
In 2011 Zahner-Isenberg recorded two songs at home in Long Beach and released another single on Sub Pop titled "How Come/Good I'm Wishing", the band toured in the summer and then came home to write and record towards a second album.
Avi Buffalo's music was a mash-up of many genres, with heavy guitar influence and lyrical ambiguity.

Summer Cum
Avi Buffalo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got lost in your summer cum
Leave all your stains with me
And know that I will never be
Allowed to walk right next to you
And be that one that you ought to
I tell you day and night that I can't feel you with my right hand
They've made up stories based on me so everyone could feel at ease
Oh, I can tell that you feel alive
And I won't disturb you in your time of rebirth
Please, when your taking your time with me
Please tell me that I'm making you feel weary
It's not the age I feel when by your side
I think you're over this, but I'm not finished with your kisses
I know it's not allowed, but you sure didn't seem to mind
If you continue being so kind, I don't think that I could stop trying
I saw you out today, just walking back from some hot place
Where you had robbed them dry of t-shirts and some pre-made pie crust
You made desert that night and I could taste a robot's fist
Oh, I can tell that you feel alive
And I won't disturb you in your time of rebirth
Please, when you're taking your time with me
Please tell me that I'm making you feel weary
It's not the age I feel when by your side
The lyrics to Avi Buffalo's song "Summer Cum" seem to be about unrequited love and the frustration that comes with it. The singer has been waiting for the love of their life, but they feel lost in the heat of their passion. They are willing to take on all of the baggage and stains that come with being with this person, but they know they'll never be allowed to walk beside them as an equal. They daydream about being able to feel their love with their right hand or rearranging their skin, but these desires are unattainable.
The singer feels like they have been judged and that people have made up stories about them to feel at ease. They know that they can't force this person to love them, but they also can't stop trying. They saw them out and about one day, and they were coming back from a place where they had "robbed them dry of t-shirts and some pre-made pie crust." The singer can taste the pain of the missed opportunity, but they still long for the person's affection.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that the person feels alive and that the singer doesn't want to disturb them in their time of rebirth. They just want to know that they are making them feel something, even if it's weariness. It's clear that being with this person makes the singer feel young and alive, but they also feel a sadness that they're not able to be with this person on their own terms.

I bought this album back when it came out but I don’t think I really liked it then. Hearing these songs now I feel sorta bad that it took me 12 years to get it. Because this is absolutely amazing
