about

The Royal Family is a seven-piece French/English baroque psychedelic outfit from Toronto. Their self-titled debut revolves around the metamorphosis of a butterfly and the becoming of the self, while travelling through feelings of melancholic serenity, surrealism and joyous playfulness.

‘Another single slips out from Canadian psych collective The Royal Family, featuring members of Possum, ROY, Hieronymus Harry, The John Denver Airport Conspiracy, and Wine Lips. The band leans into the baroque psychedelia of Kaleidoscope (UK), 31st of February, JK and Co., and Plastic Cloud, siphoning the curdled warble of the ‘60s through a modern prism. The album centers around the metamorphosis of a butterfly, paralleling the changes with personal growth. “When I Was A Butterfly” skips along on piano, smoke curled harmonies, and brass. With a slight warble in the vocals and ornate production, the song feels indebted to the Elephant 6 as much as the old guard and the band dresses the video up in the same kind of technicolor whimsy that permeated the collective. Their eponymous new album is out soon from Echodelick (US) and We Here & Now (CAN).’ - @ravensingstheblues

This album makes you feel like a better world is possible and somewhat close at hand. It isn't, clearly, we're stuck in dystopia, but it's so beautiful to dream. Fabio Viola

A step back in time through a portal to the future... groovy, psychedelic jams, with Isobel's vibrant flute work weaving fantastic textures. There's definitely humor in their approach with nods toward almost Austin Powers-esque grooving, and I mean that as a compliment. Elements of tropicalia serve to brighten the musical tapestry even more. Perfect music for a lazy, sunny afternoon people watching or copping some shade. paliojen_black
