Album artwork for If I Were A Butterfly by Rayland Baxter

If I Were a Butterfly is Rayland Baxter's first new album in four years. For the making of his fourth album, Baxter holed up for over a year at a former rubber-band factory turned studio in the Kentucky countryside - a seemingly humble environment that proved to be something of a wonderland.

"I just waited for the record to build itself," says Baxter. "I'd get up and go outside, see a butterfly and connect that with some impulsive thought I'd had three months ago and suddenly a song I'd been working on would make sense."

If I Were a Butterfly finds Baxter co-producing alongside Tim O'Sullivan (The Head and the Heart, Grace Potter), slowly piecing together the album's patchwork of lush psychedelia and Beatlesesque pop.
