Sure are a lot of butters out on the market these days. Of course there’s peanut — smooth not chunky, don’t be rude — but then you’ve got almond, sunflower, hazlenut, hemp, and that’s barely even scratching the surface! There’s a new kind of butter on the come-up though: Montreal-based three-piece artisanal kitchen Lungbutter, whose debut full-length Honey is due out next month via Constellation Records.
If you prefer your butter to be super sludgy, like so thick you’ll need to hire a European strongman to stir all that oil around, then Lungbutter is right up your alley. It’s the kind of butter that’ll really stick to the roof of your mouth. Though only a three-piece, Lungbutter project an onslaught of sound far greater than just guitar, drums, and vocals. Mashing scuzzy riffs, pummeling drums, and speak-sing vocals, they conjure up a dynamic that falls somewhere on the ragged line between The Melvins and Life Without Buildings.
Try and stir the sludge around for yourself by listening to “Flat White” off of Lungbutter’s Honey down below. Also make sure to check out the album’s artwork and full tracklisting. Honey is out May 31 on Constellation Records and can be pre-ordered here.
