The Fox "Butterfly" 1970 UK Pop Psych
- 10 years ago
From album The Fox "Fox For Sake" 1970
Tapestry of DElights:
A group of good musicians who specialised in tuneful songs very much in the style of Nirvana or US bands like Phluph or Aorta and deserved more success than they achieved. Their recordings are now very rare and sought-after, but Butterfly, which typified their style with some exquisite guitar and sitar work. Not all the tracks on the album work well, though. Some, like Secondhand Love or Mr. Blank have intriguing melodies and nice organ/guitar interplay, while there also are mistakes such as Goodtime Music, which sounds like a parody of Them, but certainly is not. The most psychedelic track is Madame Magical (9’38") with metre-changes and funny organ.
(Vernon Joynson / Marcel Koopman)
Alex Lane (vocals, piano, keyboards)
Winston Weatherill (guitar, sitar)
Steve Brayne (guitar)
Dave Windross (piano, bass guitar)
Tim Reeves (drums)
