The Butter Thief

by High Chair

supported by

kevstevens I love this! It's a superb album of cracking prog rock/pop songs. A psychedelic journey culminating in the brilliant Last But Not Leashed - A thief may have nicked the butter but has left us with a lush cherry on top! Go on - get your teeth into it! Favorite track: Last But Not Leashed.

about

This is quite different for a High Chair release, more Psychedelic Rock/Pop/Prog than ambient. It's the first High Chair album with vocals on.
This album was started over 20 years ago. Demos of all the songs were recorded on a reel to reel machine in the mid to late '90s. These recordings, done on Logic 9, were started in June 2017 and finished in May 2018.
