With such an unusual name, it's not surprising that this Leeds group's style is not easily categorised. It is rooted in hip hop but also takes in R&B, and even jazz. The mellow, jazzy, soulful "Butterfly" is perhaps the stand out. From seemingly talking about nothing in particular, it uses the moth and butterfly metaphor for religious change and growth. The similar sounding "Let It Go", which also features the striking female vocals of a third of the trio, is another standout. "Father" is a hip-hoppy beats-based mid-tempo cut with human voices serving almost like instruments. Ends with the very old school R&B flavoured "Jesus Loves You". A very idiosyncratic, eclectic, yet feel-good mini-album.
