Butterfly Bones

Butterfly Bones sent over their new ep which is getting a lot of love from my stereo. The band crafts synth heavy indie pop songs that are so easy to fall for. Lyrically they remind me a bit of Magnetic Fields but do not sound quite as heavy as a Stephin Merritt project… Bones is of a much lighter fare. And while they don’t have much in common with MGMT, Butterfly Bones leaves you with a similar feel good feeling. Stand out track “xoxo” below:

    Lyrically they remind you of the Magnetic Fields? No, sorry, co-oping a band's older sound does not equal lyricism make. Neither does repeating "No no, we're never gonna give it up" and calling it lyrics.
