Queen Adreena – Butcher & the Butter (CD)
Product Details
Katie Jane Garside has always inhabited a space entirely her own, somewhere between post-punk catharsis and raw confessional theater, and Queen Adreena remains one of the most uncompromising bands to emerge from the UK underground. Long beloved by fans who found the polished edges of mainstream alt-rock too tame, the band rewards listeners willing to meet them on their own terms, in the discomfort and the beauty simultaneously.
'The Butcher and the Butterfly' is the band's first full-length album for One Little Indian. Produced by Paul Corkett (The Cure, Placebo, Cooper Temple Clause) at Bath Moles Studio (Elbow), the album is (as it's title suggests) a balance of visceral anger and beautiful fragility. Mixing harsh guitars and pounding drumming with Katie Jane's vocals, it moves from moshpit anthems to delicate acoustic songs with enviable dexterity. From the opening moments of 'FM Doll's vicious cabaret pounding, to the beautiful softness of 'Bird nest Hair' and the sing a long chorus of 'Princess Carwash', this is a wonderfully crafted album where extra care has clearly been taken to utilize variety and dynamics to their full effect, pushing the band's material to the next level.
