Our Take

If Pitchfork were to review BUTCHER BOY's album "You Had A Kind Face," it might go something like this:

★★★★☆

Ah, BUTCHER BOY. The Scottish band with a penchant for heart-wrenching lyrics and melancholic melodies. Their latest album, "You Had A Kind Face," stays true to their signature sound while pushing the boundaries of their musicality.

From the opening track, "The Ghosts of Saturday Night," it's clear that BUTCHER BOY are here to tug at your heartstrings. Lead vocalist John Blain Hunt's haunting vocals soar over delicate arrangements, drawing listeners in with every word.

Songs like "My Own Route" and "Queen of Montrose" showcase the band's ability to craft emotionally-charged narratives that resonate long after the final notes fade away. The instrumentation is lush and atmospheric, creating a dreamlike landscape for Hunt's introspective lyrics to shine.

But it's not all doom and gloom with BUTCHER BOY. Tracks like "Friday Night at the Drive-In Bingo" inject a dose of whimsy and nostalgia into the mix, reminding listeners that even in the darkest of times, there's always a glimmer of light.

"You Had A Kind Face" is a testament to BUTCHER BOY's growth as musicians and storytellers. It's a beautiful, bittersweet journey that will leave you longing for more. So go ahead, press play and let the music wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
