BUTTERTONES – jazzhound (CD)

Drittes Album. Armed with an arsenal of the most propulsive music they’ve written yet, The Buttertones recorded the album mostly live — an ideal method for capturing their cult-status live show. “We’d do a few takes,” says Araiza, “and then it was, ‘Alright, we got all the main instruments done, now let’s record on the vibraphone that was used on Pet Sounds,’ you know?” It also marks completely new territory for the group, too, with Araiza, who calls this album “probably the darkest one” he’s written lyrically, pushing his Ian Curtis-via-Bobby Darin baritone to new depths.
