Family Time – Butterfly Season (2021)

Family Time are leaving the cool-headed tones of their past releases at the door as they sink into a sardonic rant with ‘Butterfly Season’. Touching on a range of topics from money to entrepreneurial wisdom, they consider how you can play the success game, if you are perceptive to how it is rigged against you. With a rocking flair and a tender touch of country, the duo showcases a new side of their sound while bringing a rush of caffeine, doubt and anxiety.

Thrust into the limelight by their infamous hotel tour, this duo shows no signs of stopping, or any limit to their creativity. Moving from their critically acclaimed pop opera The Great Abismo to the new flavours of their new material, they will hook you to their sound all over again. Unafraid of jumping into the deep end with their music, they draw you along for the wonderful ride.



The drums that open ‘Butterfly Season’ grab your attention from the first second, while you start bopping to the rhythm. It is an infectious movement that you are unable to say no to that leads you perfectly into guitars. There is a light and upbeat vibe to the track that catches your senses and draws you further into the song. The light vibes of the melody sets a strange scene for the sardonic lyrics, but there is something about it that adds to the overall emotion and feeling of the single.

As you bop and vibe to the music, the vocals are an easy line that carefully draw you into them. The sardonic rant woven into the track through the lyrics slowly builds in the best way. It is like a conversation with someone you have known for a long time, or those thoughts that thread through your brain when you have a moment to just sit and think about things. This rather gentle rant is as catchy as the melody and the chorus will definitely stay with you long after the track has ended.

Family Time have you bopping to their rhythm while they unleash a gentle yet sardonic rant through the engaging tones of ‘Butterfly Season’. The music hooks you to the track from the first toe-tapping beat and keeps you in the flow of things. The vocals are as smooth and captivating as the music while creeping into your brain with some rather interesting questions.
