an unabashed big sounding record.. deeply unfashionable and hugely enjoyable.

I decided to honor the band I put at #1 for their lengthy career of quality music, not just quality power pop. It may not have been their greatest career album, but it was excellent and worthy of the top spot

another perpetual pearl
The Posies Solid States reviewed in the new issue of The Big Takeover.
Butch wrote and recorded a little Holiday jam last year called “Santa S’elf”, and it’s back by popular demand! If you like lots of swear words, snarky lyrics about popular culture, and sexy Sax solos…
Listen to Butch Walker’s “Santa’Self (F*ck Your Christmas Party)” on SoundCloud or YouTube.

Flood was They Might Be Giants third album, and was a remarkable moment in our career and development both creatively and professionally. Facing the specter of a label major deal and the critical magnifying glass turning to the “college rock scene” TMBG managed to fashion a sprawling original album both sonically engaging yet still closely following our original musical mission.
Sweet, dry and aged like a fine champagne, The Posies are a force to be reckoned with, made only sweeter by the intimate nature of their most recent tour. Theirs is a band that boasts all of the hallmarks of a truly great Indie act, humming with Punk Rock energy whilst still insistently buzzing along honey-syrup melodies. It doesn’t matter if it’s a new tune like ‘Squirrel Vs Snake’ or an older composition like ‘Solar Sister’, the fans receive it with equal zeal.
