Music news Jeffrey Bützer unveils new song, plays Other Sound
Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 4:38 PM
Jeffrey Bützer recently released a new song unto the world, titled "The Case of Unpiraled Stairs."
“The name of the song is an homage to the writer Harry Stephen Keeler. He was an oddball American pulp writer who had a lot of odd book titles, like Riddle of the Traveling Skull and The Mystery of the Fiddling Cracksmith,” Bützer says. “The song is titled in the spirit of his work; I'm a member of the HSK society (there are about 80 of us worldwide). As far as the music goes, I started writing it on accordion after a few lessons from Bill Nittler (of the 4th Ward Afro Klezmer Orchestra), and I wanted to write something with an alternating bass line which was a challenge for a novice accordionist. I wrote it last year”
Jeffrey Bützer plays the Other Sound Festival at Criminal Records on Sat., Sept. 19 around 5:30 p.m., just after Yo La Tengo. Free.
