O’s Notes: Virginia-based quintet Butcher Brown is Marcus “Tennishu” Tenney (t, sax, vocals), Morgan Burrs (g), Corey Fonville (d, perc), Andrew Randazzo (b), and Devonne “DJ Harrison” Harris. Letters from the Atlantic has a laid back, club/dance vibe including several female guest artists along with Nicholas Payton (t) on “Montrose Forest”, and Neal Francis singing on “Something New About You”. The girls take the mic on: “Unwind” with Melanie Charles, “Change In Weather” featuring Mia Gladstone, “Hold You” with Victoria Victoria, “I Remember” featuring Yaya Bey, and “Right Here” featuring Leanor Wolf. We also enjoyed “Dinorah Dinorah”, “Backline”, and the pounding club beats of “Ibiza”.
