Lit Fuse Records presents “Butterfly Man”, the debut album from Vancouver
singer/songwriter Aaron Nazrul, produced by former “Doug and the Slugs” keyboardist and Genie Award-Winner Simon Kendall, with additional tracks produced by Lin Gardiner of Super G Music and Vancouver’s DJ Darren Woodhead.
Aaron Nazrul (real name Aaron Ross) was a hit at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe
Festival in Scotland, premiering his live acoustic ballads to popular and critical acclaim: “The Golden Voice of the Festival…Aaron pours his heart and soul into each and every song…definitely a talent to watch for in the future.” Festival FM
Aaron’s music combines the raw emotional intensity of Ben Harper and the cultural diversity of Manu Chao, with a sound that harkens back to old time folk and soul. Tracks of note are “As the Sun Goes Down”, “Take These Chains”, “Butterfly Man”, and “Delivered” featuring guest vocals from Frazey Ford of The Be Good Tanyas.
The album was inspired by Aaron’s recent travels in South East Asia, and includes songs written during a motorcycle trip through Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and China. “Butterfly Man” is a slang term in Asia for a restless traveler who never settles in one place, or with one person.
“Butterfly Man” is now available from the iTunes Music Store and other digital sites, with general release in retail stores December 4th. Review copies are available on request.
