Their name, inspired by a passage in Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Breakfast of Champions, speaks volumes about the sound of this Winnipeg based group. The band is comprised of Rejean Ricard (guitars, vocals and songwriting duties), Jake Dubois (drums), Eric van Buren (bass) and Angus Kirkpatrick (guitars, vocals).
Now, after months of toiling in their basement studio, recording and mixing --- the result is their self-titled debut.
Against a backdrop of rhythmic guitars, moving bass lines and frenetic drums, their sound can be described as a mix of vintage Teenage Fanclub, Cotton Mather and Beatles; harmonizing over an aggressive guitar assault not unlike Nirvana or Oasis; more acoustic and trippier tracks like Donovon's "Epistle to Dippy" and the gorgeous "Mr. Laughabee's Circus" are more Kinks and XTC.
Their music is a blend of equal parts jangle, psychedelia, melody and harmony. Their songs navigate through multi-layered arrangements steeped with avante sonic textures.
From their humble beginnings as a two-piece, the Telepathic Butterflies are now set to spread their wings across rest of the world.
The metamorphosis is complete. Tune in to the Telepathic Butterflies.
