Bump of Chicken may want to avoid full commitment into dance tracks a la “Butterfly” and go for something like “Fighter”, the best track of the album that sounds (kind of) relevant to the current upbeat trend while retaining the emotional strength the band is best at. Bump of Chicken excels in delivering emotional tracks via Fujiwara’s vocal and beautiful lyrics, and this doesn’t translate well into EDM. Some reordering of the tracks may be able to make “Butterflies” a much better album.īut the main problem with Bump of Chicken’s venture into dance numbers may be the different way emotion is conveyed in the genre.

Listen free to BUMP OF CHICKEN Butterflies (GO, Hello,world and more). Bump of Chicken’s effort to tap into the genre starts subtly with 2014’s “RAY”, but they never went all out until this 8th album.
