Led by the multi-talented Joe Cassidy (the only constant member), a native of Belfast, North Ireland, Butterfly Child burst onto the music scene in '91 with two well-received EPs on A.R. Kane's H.ark label. Signing to Rough Trade in '93, Butterfly Child released both the brilliant Ghetto Speak EP and equally wonderful Onomatopoeia album. It was obvious upon release that Butterfly Child would be hard to classify. Their visionary sound was not unlike Brian Wilson trapped inside a Cocteau Twins recording session while John Cage battled with John Cale over production.
