This week's huMP3s come from Chengdu psychedelic rock outfit Proximity Butterfly, who take to the Nuts Club stage once more this Saturday as they embark on the second leg of their national "Pillars of Creation" tour, fresh off of a main stage, festival opening performance at the third annual Zebra Music Festival.  This time around they're promoting their latest album and first release(out 5/31) on the lauded Maybe Mars imprint, "The Reprieve."  The self-produced album, and subsequent tour, is drawn from the band's personal encounters with the "devastation that reshaped Chengdu's community," just over 3 years ago.  The multitude of emotions evoked by the disastrous 2008 Sichuan earthquake, or "5.12," guide the album's ethereal, imaginative sound, and though born of a cold, dark place, warmly welcome listeners to the "unmistakeable sound of Proximity Butterfly."  

The two tracks below are from a previous album, as I've yet to get a hold of any of their new material, but give a good indication of what to expect from Saturday's show.
