'Age of Anxiety' by Chassin

When butler first saw her, she was singing ja standers at an art opening in montreal and he immediately asked her to join his fledgling band. The strands of what she has described as her grandmother music, opera and jacques brelle and edith pef somehow melding with butler's art pop influences. On stage, they perform a similar feat, chassin singing, dancing, shifting between accordion, keys and zylophone,. seemingly existing in her own orbit as the rest of the band play on. They began work on a record they hoped might reflect that turbulence, tracks such as the slow syrupe, end of the empire.
