Queenadreena - Butcher & The Butterfly

Facts 'The Butcher and the Butterfly' is the band's first full-length album for One Little Indian. Produced by Paul Corkett (The Cure, Placebo, Cooper Temple Clause) at Bath Moles Studio (Elbow), the album is (as it's title suggests) a balance of visceral anger and beautiful fragility. Mixing harsh guitars and pounding drumming with Katie Jane's vocals, it moves from moshpit anthems to delicate acoustic songs with enviable dexterity. From the opening moments of 'FM Doll's vicious cabaret pounding, to the beautiful softness of 'Bird nest Hair' and the sing a long chorus of 'Princess Carwash', this is a wonderfully crafted album where extra care has clearly been taken to utilize variety and dynamics to their full effect, pushing the band's material to the next level.
