Indie artist The Butterfly Graveyard releases evocative new single

Music Review | 10th Aug, 2024 The Butterfly Graveyard

Hailing from Co. Cork Irish alt-rocker The Butterfly Graveyard has built a reputation for crafting dreamy folk ambient rock `n' roll.

The latest single from the group is the synth driven Barcelona, filled with melodies over a slow electronic beat.

Speaking about the track the band say;

This song is a homage to the city of Barcelona and to one of its most famous sons the architect, Antonio Gaudi. It was inspired by a visit to Barcelona, a stroll down Las Ramblas and its morning markets and the abiding memory of seeing quiet a few songbirds singing from their cages.

I remember that night back in the hotel I had a dream which, Gaudi in the dead of night went to Las Ramblas and freed all those songbirds from their cages. In exchange for which, the birds agreed to fly Gaudi up to the top of his cathedral in order for him to better survey his work.

This image of Gaudi, being bourne aloft by a flock of songbirds to the top of La Sagrada Familia stayed with me and in the end, I had to write a song about it.

So the track is a homage to Barcelona, Antonio Gaudi and of course to the songbirds.
