UncutSep 12, 2012Given a fuzzed-out, subterranean production glaze, Butter filters everything from surf and lounge touches to Spaghetti Western flourishes, but is best when spinning cool pop hooks up out of the muck. [Oct 2012, p.87]

Sep 12, 2012Butter not only betters their signature sound, it finally makes it sound concise.
