Butterfly House

The Coral

Lush 1960s-inspired psych-folk with shimmering jangle and golden-hour harmonies. A polished, wistful departure from their earlier carnival-rock chaos.

July 12, 2010 · Deltasonic Records

A warm, sun-drenched nostalgia that feels both comforting and slightly out of time.

Moments Worth Listening For
The soaring three-part harmonies on the title track that evoke 1966 California sunshine.
The transition into the expansive, six-minute psychedelic coda of North Parade.
The delicate acoustic fingerpicking on Walking in the Winter that feels like a cold morning.
