Butterflies On Strings
Butterflies On Strings like to refer to themselves as 'post pop', but it's hard to tell if they are joking or not. They play an uplifting blend of indie-pop and electronica, with a bit of post rock thrown in for a bit of shameless self-indulgence. Originally formed as a two piece in the summer of 2006, they have now grown to four members, and are all the better for it. They have one EP under their belt ('Close Your Eyes And Think Of Ben' is available via iTunes) produced by Peter Miles.
