On the tape, song demos Butterflies, Her second album, in which we are so much more Aurora, But the texture is rock and raw country-folk. The raw pieces, sometimes deliberately broken, invite the ear as close as possible to the spark that gave birth to them.
Butterflies – Demos First of all it imposes this consideration: everything is already there. The guiding principle of songs is their composition and the lively emotion that makes your heart beat faster.
