'He thinks he has a right. Does money get you all it can buy? And some girls chase the dollar signs in his eyes…'. BUTTERFLY tells the story of a man who uses power and wealth to get what he wants, at any cost. Darkly menacing from the opening 'gunshot' drums and twisted bass, it's a song that sucks you into its beguiling underworld and brings a dusky chill to the spine.

This is the first single from the upcoming second album from Kiiōtō (comprising Mercury Music Prize nominated singer/songwriter Lou Rhodes, formerly of Lamb, and multi-award winning pianist and composer Rohan Heath). The album, Black Salt, drops April 2026.

“The pair’s fierce storytelling powers these songs… Rhodes’ richly grained voice elegantly sets every scene...” - Mojo Magazine Debut album review

There’s more than enough promise for a prosperous new partnership here… underpinned by the harmonious relationship between Heath’s piano and Rhodes’ elegiac voice - Uncut Magazine Debut album review
