FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The alternative rockers known as
Butterfly on a Bullet have released two new seasonal singles, “Silent
Night” and “O Holy Night.” The singles come hot on the heels of
their debut official release, “Let's Fly,” the first song to be
published from their upcoming EP record. Each of these have been
published on the CircleXProductions music record label. While the
style of “Let's Fly” is entirely different from these two new
Christmas tracks, “Silent Night” and “O Holy Night” prove
beyond any feasible doubt that Butterfly on a Bullet are musicians of
staggering musical ability and impeccable musical taste.
Being a troupe of guitarists, all,
Butterfly on a Bullet emphasize their stringed skills in their
arrangement of “Silent Night.” The considerable talents that
continue to bring popular attention to their “Let's Fly” single
emerge in entirely new forms for “Silent Night.”
“We wanted this song to feature the
guitarists of Butterfly on a Bullet,” they write. “In fact, the
guitar solo in the instrumental is played by our bassist, Chris,
rather than our lead guitarist, Will. 'Silent Night' has such a
beautiful, soothing melody, and almost sings as a lullabye. We wanted
to keep true to this beauty and create a smooth, melodic blend of
acoustic and classical guitars, and vocals with simple harmonies.”
These compositional choices bespeak a
great, unfeigned refinement on the part of each member of Butterfly
on a Bullet, a refinement which appears in all of their recordings
but which is a key factor in the clarion beauty of “Silent Night.”
As may be apprehended, this finesse is also omnipresent in their
rendition of “O Holy Night.”
Butterfly on a Bullet's “O Holy
Night” is enrapturing, enthralling, arresting and awe-inspiring. It
mainly features Butterfly lead singer, Nicole, which stylistic
decision on the part of the band was deliberate and, as the result
proves, ingenious.
“She loves to create harmonies and
instruments with her voice,” write Butterfly on a Bullet. “With
our full-rock sound, we have to compromise on heavy background
vocals. If you listen carefully, you can hear them, but we try to
make sure they leave room for the other instruments to shine.
However, for 'O Holy Night,' we told our lead singer to feature
herself. We told her to compose an a capella arrangement in which she
sang every part. So she did. She sang what ended up being a total of
168 individual vocal tracks.”
After hours of mixing and adroit studio
manipulation (none of which involve disingenuous engineering
shortcuts – the performer's skill is clearly masterful) “O Holy
Night” appeared in this truly sublime, audibly glowing incarnation.
“We had no idea what to expect,”
they write, “and we can’t say we’ve heard anything quite like
this before: a classic Christmas song arranged and sung by a choir of
one person.”
Indeed, the track is undeniable. Like
the great cathedrals in which the song is often sung, it is an
example of the very finest art of which humanity has proven capable.
“Silent Night” and “O Holy Night”
by Butterfly on a Bullet are available online worldwide.
