Lost in the Trees support public radio on Capitol Hill



Lost in the Trees recently joined Bob Boilen of NPR Music on Capitol Hill to show the US Government how important public radio is for music, culture and life. The band played a few songs, and the engineers at NPR were nice enough to record the set for posterity. Listen here and read about the event on NPR's All Songs Considered blog.

New Butterflies album announced!



Today we are pleased to share with the world the first taste of Butterflies' new album Residual Child! This album is the secret we've been dying to share with you, and in a few short weeks, we can. Residual Child will be released on November 23 in Trekky Records' signature 3-part package, with a vinyl record, compact disc and MP3 download. The album is a true studio album, painstakingly crafted over the last 8 months by lead Butterfly Josh Kimbrough and producer Patrick Jones. Jones became such an integral force in the recording process, that he actually ended up joining the band, bringing his expert ear for synth textures and dynamics to Butterflies' jazzy brand of guitar pop. Kimbrough's songwriting has never been more focused, dealing intimately with his personal thoughts, struggles and philosophies. Residual Child is a record about finding joy in simplicity, letting the complications of life melt away and reveling in simple, poignant gestures.

The band will celebrate the release of the album with a very special release show on November 20 at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC. Butterflies will be joined by an incredible group of North Carolina bands: The Strugglers, Erie Choir and Cassis Orange. The show is absolutely FREE. Below is the album cover, tracklist and first single from Residual Child. The song is called "Goodbye (Like A Stranger)" and we hope it will be your Autumn anthem. Enjoy!
