About Buttercup
In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. We played a game of aesthetic pool to see who would be in the band. Aesthetic pool is a no rules game where the goal is to do the most interesting, shocking, beautiful thing. Odie, Erik and Joe won and became Buttercup. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Elliott Smith, Either/Or Morrissey, Vauxhall and I claire rousay, A Softer Focus These records are among the moodiest, loveliest records ever. If sounds have a color, these records are amber and purple. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “I Luv My Voice” This song is about my struggle with accepting my strange, warbly, imperfect voice. I've always wanted to sound like Frank Sinatra or Morrissey or John Lennon, but I don't. What choice do I have? To sound like myself, flaws and all.--Erik Sanden What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? When we played with Tragically Hip. We watched how Gordon Downie--a true artist and gentleman--conducted himself on and off stage. It's nice to have upstanding role models in such a ethically questionable line of work. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? We want to invent a new way of stringing chords together. We want to turn performance upside-down, somehow, somewhere. We want to go to Alaska. We want to make the loudest song ever. We want to make the quietest song ever. Lots to do.
