The Butterfly Effect

Product Information

From the eye-catching artwork (guitar plectrums and strings cleverly positioned as butterflies in the striking blue and red vinyl colourways), this album oozes class and style, and I’m pleased to say that the music is as vibrant and colourful as the album cover. It brings us 12 great melodic songs spanning different musical genres and styles, from the psychedelic 60s to country and western, 70s soul, jazz and strings, along with a good dose of early Jam punk-inspired attitude.

You can’t get much better than an encore that features Tube Station, Ghosts, The Eton Rifles, Going Underground and Beat Surrender can you?. In 2006, former Jam member Bruce Foxton performed on stage with the Gift, and later joined the band permanently as bassist; at this point the group changed its name to From the Jam. With a touch of the Beatles, some R&B and the hard-edged swagger of their own band, opener ‘Electronic Lover’ hits things running, then ‘Feet Off the Ground’ turns things on their head with its beautifully chilled and Summery feel. Two of Us starts with a great guitar intro and unravels into a hugely melodic 60s-inspired anthem, again reminiscent of The Small Faces, with echoes to Russell’s vocals adding to the surreal, dreamlike aura of this song.Russell: Yes, we do have some ideas flying around and we would like to thank all the fans for their continued support over the years! T HE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “ Bruce Foxton and Russell Hastings have teamed up once again to release their third album The Butterfly Effect.

Bruce: BBC Radio 2 mainly. Also, Liam and Noel [Gallagher] have gone on to produce some good stuff, and my old mate Paul [Weller], as for the inspiration, all the events happening, I guess. The majestic Lula was the first single from the album, and the one that we had an early preview to during the making of the album on social media. It was lovely to witness this as part of the live set in Dorking and it undoubtedly deserves its place in the show. It has been described by Russell as “A catchy pop song about a spoilt woman who seemingly has everything yet has nothing.” and you could hear this becoming a singalong favourite in time too. Bruce: No, if the band is committed and if there is a demand, why not? Not just purely for money, though.The finale of the album, Anything You Want, has a rousing brass opening and sweeps you along with its uplifting lyrics and melody. The Hammond organ adds another soulful element to this catchy tune which unexpectedly ends with psychedelic sound effects, creating a great finale to The Butterfly Effect.
