REVIEWS:

"their releases just get better and better....little bits of the noisy sounds of slowdive, the wailing distorted guitars of my bloody valentine and even the slow building post rock of the likes of mogwai, lots of heavy swirling guitars, lush synths and thunderous but slow building drums" (SINGLE OF THE WEEK)

- www.RoadRecs.com

"At SXSW, MOJO's marketing manager was blown back to her shoe-gazing days by this Dublin quintet"

- MOJO magazine (track 'Car Park' in Top 10 playlist of June 2006 issue)

"Turn The Sky, their new EP, is quite glorious. Like a loved-up Radiohead, Butterfly Explosion deal in weighty dirges but with choruses you can hum on the bus" ****(SINGLE OF THE WEEK)

- The Metro

" 'Sophia' evokes Low at their narcotic finest, while 'Carpark' is a powerful instrumental, awash with noise and brimming with melancholy. On 'Chemistry' the group develop more of a swagger, incorporating some of Spiritualized's drone-rocking tendancies, without losing their undercurrent of bulging sadness. The formula(sugar-sweet melodies peeking through a blizzard of guitar noise) may be familiar, but it's still irresistible when executed this well."

- Hotpress Magazine

"one of the best new bands I have heard in sometime. And with their layered and textured sound - I am sure they will not remain a hidden secret for long. Highly recommended."

- www.lostmusic.co.uk

"The touching and intense melodies that encompass Turn the Sky give it a certain grace - the tear-jerking moment that comes with the end of a three year tryst....The Butterfly Explosion - with the help of Turn the Sky - has the potential to be successful, and not just with numbers, but with influence."
