Retro-futurist : Moog-power…we have seen the future and circa 1970 this involves synthesisers that look like occasional tables. They sound fab though.

Glitch-pop : Songs, with chorus’s and tunes, big tunes. But with lots of fizzes, crackles and pops.

Reviews and press
“Fans of polished, atmospheric, ethereal pop music might want to check out Cumbrian band Barking at Butterflies. An unexpected pairing of an ex metal vocalist and a singer songwriter for film and television, this duo make beautiful electronic sounds.”
Heather-Jane Steeley – The Fly Magazine Feb 2008 Issue

"Created by the same man who is working on the upcoming Titanium Rain soundtrack, this music project is perfect for those who like IDM music such as Bjork and Funkstorung. If anything, check out the stand-out track, "Inhuman" on this EP. You will not be disapointed."

"Lee can be hot or cold, like a bizarre game you can’t help yourself being intrigued about."

"The music fairies have been at this recording and given it a sparkle that even with the best will in the world, you couldn’t reproduce for yourself. Please familiarise yourself with this music because you will wonder how you lived without the exquisiteness of these songs... there is beauty inherent in the subtle textures Sharp has created. The quality here is that just enough is done and nothing is over complicated or done to excess, which is sometimes a temptation when you hit on something wonderful"
James Parker (www.yourmusicbox.org)

"North Lakes electronic/acoustic act Barking at Buttterflies are a remarkable male/female affair with some seriously strong chart-worthy tunes at the heart of their set."
