Prepare yourself for a sonic experience that is very much part present and part past before pressing play on Lola Blanc’s electro pop alter ego, Butter, released ‘For Kate I Wait’.
“For Kate I Wait” is a cover of fellow LA-based artist Ariel Pink’s original track, and was produced by Nick Huntington of “Night Sequels” and “Freesha” fame; redone with Butter’s female vocals, the track is slightly provocative and coy at once. The appeal of Butter – otherwise known as Lola Blanc – lies in a distinct, eclectic vibe that is all her own, such as the subtle, moody electronic melodies behind “For Kate I Wait.” The eccentricity works, and gives the impression that Butter doesn’t play by genre rules, but invents her own.
