Formed by ex members of Sweet Bulbs & Night Manager, Butter the Children (previously known as Fluffer) self-released their debut album last year, and recently signed to Downtown Records. The songs from the album sounds a little like a sans-reverb, punkier, lo-fi, less pretentious version of shoegaze music. That genre’s signature noisy guitars and ethereal melodies are intact, but the overall vibe lacks the sonic expansiveness of classic shoegazer albums – which is actually a good thing, considering how formulaic that genre has become. You can see the band live at Death By Audio on June 27 with epic and somewhat cursed-sounding psych rockers from NJ Huge Pupils.
