“Butterfly,” the latest single by Blindness & Light, is a deeply moving track that combines the band’s signature post-punk influences with a raw emotional narrative. The track, recorded on the Isle of Anglesey and expertly mixed in Germany, features Colin M Potter’s poignant vocals and a compelling wah-wah groove that drives the song’s energy. With bassist Rob Griffiths providing a steady groove, the song blends melancholy with a danceable beat, delivering a striking balance of mood and movement.
“Butterfly” explores themes of self-determination and personal loss, with Potter’s evocative lines like, “Your body’s cold, your eyes are closed,” referencing the loss of his mother. The song resonates with a cathartic release, wrapping listeners in both sadness and hope.
This single serves as a second taste of the band’s upcoming album, and it’s clear that Blindness & Light has found new creative energy, shaping a sound that is both reflective and bold.
