Daphni: Butterfly [Jiaolong]
Can an artist collaborate with themselves? On Butterfly, Dan Snaith’s first Daphni album since 2022, he makes a worthy case for it. The Canadian producer’s new endeavor below his dance alias contains one track, “Ready So Lengthy,” which “options” vocals attributed to Snaith’s different undertaking, Caribou. In press supplies, Snaith says the unbelievable match-up embodies the synchronicity of his artistry as of late, and Butterfly finds him in keeping with his internal selector. Opening in a sublime blitz of home and post-EDM metered by interludes of dub and jazz, Butterfly flutters into funkier, stranger territory because the tracklist fades out. But it surely by no means loses the free-associative, peak-time spirit that the Daphni moniker embodies.
