The Telepathic Butterflies

The Telepathic Butterflies hail from Winnipeg, Canada and consist of guitarist/vocalist Rejean Ricard and super drummer Jacques Dubois and a rotating supporting cast for live shows. Rej Ricard is an ultra-talented songwriter who traffics in pristine pop with psychedelic flourishes as well as crunchy harmonic rock with cleverly textured guitar work.

This 2008 release is the band’s third album on Rainbow Quartz spanning
a period of seven years. While past releases have been chock full of
alterna-hip catchy guitar-rock pop gems evoking the likes of The Byrds
and Bowie – this new release continues to please and expand the palette. Breakfast in Suburbia has snippets of pop-orientated tracks that jangle and shine like the Hollies or Squeeze and at the same time displays catchy linear rockers that would make Green Day or even Oasis smile – and the unpredictable chord changes create an artsy form of rock rarely heard these days.

Painstakingly recorded at their vintage 16-track analog studio, the album
is a compelling examination of modern life – expounding on the drudgery, alienation and paranoia of everyday life – yet offering redemption in the soaring harmonies, ringing melodies and lovingly crafted songs.

Released on double vinyl, while the CD release contains what we at the
label feel are the most Rainbow Quartz-y sounding tracks.
