Butane Variations are 4 people from New York, New York. They play garage-punk-country that may weave avant-intricate compositions with hooky pop tunes. Sometimes the beat sounds like a tennis match and sometimes the songs wear argyle socks. There's 4 people in the band so they can all fit in the same car.

These people write!
================================================================
"They are the band up till five, for no other reason than having all its stars out." - Stereo Subversion
================================================================
"Simple soul drenched alt-country ballads, confounded with off key experimental moments."
- Pensatos
================================================================
“For lack of a much better word, Butane Variations' new self-titled record is neat. There are such sweet moments that pop up here and there, and the horn and banjo phrases on this song are a case in point.” – Music (For Robots)
================================================================
"Every time one of the band's songs threatens to head directly down the middle of the road, it seems to veer off the pavement into more exciting territory." - Out the Other
================================================================
"There's a sureness of intent on these songs that positively jumps from the grooves; every ingredient falls into place effortlessly." - Playback:stl
================================================================
".....honeyed rusticity with punky racket...........characteristic of a band that's significantly more eccentric than its most accessible moments.." - Washington Post
================================================================
"They’ve earned their coveted sainthood in their searching woes and desperate readings into the readings of palms. There’s a lot of shivering before heat and then huddling with heads gently resting upon another, comforting whatever scary thoughts are rampaging upstairs." - Daytrotter
================================================================
"This sparkling delight sidles up to you, grinning with warm mischief, then sweeps you off your feet with a single-finger push. Genuine charm has that kind of power. There's just so much to like here." - Jambase
================================================================
"Butane Variations maintain an aw shucks persona, even while wailing trumpet over scalding explosions ("Airforce One"), spinning country rock sirens worthy of early McQuinn and seminal Parsons ("Skyward, Upward"), or oddly mixing Conway Twitty/Simon & Garfunkel vocals and lower east side indie instrumentation with damaged pop portent ("Goldie Hawn"). Wilco make great claims for their pain-on-our-sleeves music-as-art, but Butane Variation simply take from the same place--and do it better. It's fun fun fun, and they even know Goldie Hawn is hotter than her daughter could ever be." - Yahoo Music!
