Toronto singer-songwriter Caitlin Woelfle-O’Brien b.k.a. Blunt Chunks will deliver their debut album this spring.

Announced today, The Butterfly Myth will be released on April 19th via Telephone Explosion. The nine-track album was co-produced by the artist and Nathan Burley (Young Clancy), and it includes contributions from a slew of musicians such as Queer Songbook Orchestra, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Bernice, and Mother Tongues.

The first single from the record titled "Psyche’s Flight" can be heard below. Woelfle-O’Brien said this about the song:

"Psyche’s Flight" is a simple song about feeling better and being kinder to yourself. It was February, I had lost my Dad a few months prior, and I had the opportunity to partake in an artist residency on a Permaculture farm in Mexico. I escaped the Ontario Winter and felt the warm sun on me for the first time in ages. I wrote this song a week into the residency on the rooftop patio. I finally didn’t feel so depressed anymore and I guess it’s about that freeing, hopeful feeling you get when you travel somewhere new and beautiful.

On a production level, I wanted the instrumentals to be euphoric and sunshiny. Like you’re immersed in a beautiful, new landscape for the first time. Duncan’s drumming really spiced things up and Karen’s sax harmonies give the layers of euphoria I was after.”

Pre-orders for The Butterfly Myth can be made here.
