Rayland Baxter holed up for over a year at a former rubber-band factory in the Kentucky countryside - living in a barn with the squirrels and the birds. "I just waited for the record to build itself. I'd get up and go outside, see a butterfly and connect that with some impulsive thought I'd had three months ago and suddenly a song I'd been working on would make sense." Baxter co-produced If I Were A Butterfly slowly piecing together the album's patchwork of lush psychedelia and Beatlesesque pop.
