Butterfly

A kaleidoscopic departure into 1967 psychedelia. Lush orchestral arrangements and sitar textures meet the band's signature three-part vocal precision.

The Hollies go full technicolor with sitars and strings, and it's surprisingly gorgeous.

A whimsical and shimmering dream of 1967 that balances pop precision with psychedelic curiosity.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, jarring shift from the solo vocal intro to the full psychedelic swirl of 'Dear Eloise'.
The way the sitar and flute intertwine during the bridge of 'The Maker' to create an Eastern-influenced haze.
The lush, cinematic swell of strings that carries the title track 'Butterfly' to its gentle conclusion.
