Amir Alexander makes his triumphant return to Argot with an exceptional and enigmatic new record, The Butterfly. Since providing the label’s inaugural release in 2012 with his Gutter Flex EP, Alexander’s music has graced the catalogues of respected labels like Secretsundaze, Finale Sessions, and Hype_LTD, and expanded his Vanguard Sounds and Anunnaki Cartel imprints. The Butterfly finds Alexander picking up the conversation where Gutter Flex left off, but now he s speaking it in a new language.


"This EP name-drops many subjects and themes for those who are truly interested in 'lifting the veil' in order to fully understand what we're up against. It's also just a nice deep house record for those who only want a good beat to party to. Like life, it is what you make it."—Amir Alexander

The Butterfly is a seductive record. Its supple grooves and unique textures are earcatching whether or not you notice the twisted lyrics of "Butterfly (The Monarch)" or the read into titles like "Many False Prophets". Yet close observers are rewarded with bread crumbs that bring Alexander's perspective into focus.

The haunting vocals on "Butterfly (The Monarch)" reference Monarch mind control techniques, intermixing comforting familiar phrases with dark, affected passages. They seem surreal threaded through limber bass licks and bold organ patterns, Alexander's signature 909 hi-hats cutting through the fray. "Black Mass" engages audiences in deeply hypnotic patterns that grow to a near frenzy before falling back into ritualesque patterns. And "Many False Prophets" is a lament for the easily misled, encircling listeners with gorgeously evolving percussion patterns and gently waltzing organ lines. "Deep, dark, and brooding," as Alexander puts it. That's an apt description of the whole record, as well.
