“Their outstanding debut Butterfly Tongue Revisited...Timeless rock for our times...Old-school, organic, authentic, grounded, groovy, warm, intoxicating, accomplished, crafted.”

— Darryl Sterdan – Tinnitist

“I’ve heard the album and, save for anything Gord (Lightfoot) has done, this is the best album anyone in Orillia has produced....I have a few albums like that, Dark Side of the Moon...Moving Pictures...Butterfly Tongue Revisited now holds that distinction in my collection”

— John Swartz - Sun Online Media

“Butterfly Tongue Revisited is music that grabs you instantly and holds fast.”

— Eric Alper

REAY

Orillia based indie-rock project by singer/songwriter Sean Murray.  His debut album Butterfly Tongue Revisited, was chosen one of the Top Canadian Albums of 2019 by Tinnitist.com

BTR is an album in the organic, it's old-school, timely yet timeless, familiar yet unique.   Played live with the addition of several incredible local musicians, the songs have been taken to another level using euphoric melodies and hypnotic rhythms to cocoon the tunes in a style that is deeply rooted in Popsmithery.  There appears to be a sense of space between the instruments yet somehow a heavy thickness of sound that creates a three-dimensional caress on the listeners ears.

A must see live if you get the chance
