Futures

Anyone with affection for treasure of a particularly luminous dream-pop vintage will know about Joe Cassidy and his alias Butterfly Child. Having recorded three albums and a handful of EPs in the Nineties, in 2012 a brand new Butterfly Child single No Longer Living In Your Shadow (with video) was released without any fanfare, as Cassidy wasnt then sure of what he was shaping up for. This is now resolved, as the first Butterfly Child album in 18 years is here.Futures refutes any fears that Cassidy couldnt match past glories with an epic, radiant 54-minute journey invested with his usual melodic richness - both musical and vocal - and a more widescreen production, even though the record was recorded at Cassidys LA home. Sonically, the album lives somewhere between The Beach Boys and dreampop, but with a much more direct emotional impact, between bliss and melancholy. It combines new songs with unreleased older material, reaching as far back as Cassidys very first demos as a teenager, and lyrics inspired by relationships past and present, and where Cassidy is now, 24 years after Butterfly Childs first release.
