While SXSW can be a pretty awesome experience, it's also truly fucking exhausting. Especially if you're there as an artist rushing from showcase to showcase. In his collaboration "Spaceship II" with Alex Wiley & GLC from a few years back, Chance The Rapper spoke on this feeling, yearning "When we going to home? My eyes hurt, my throat hurt, my soul hurt...". Having spent the last 5 years in Austin for the festival, that's still the most spot on I've heard it described.

Another Chicago act tells a similar Texas tale today with "Butterfly". Written last year while at SXSW, the new single captures the carousel of thrills and corresponding crashes that make the festival what it is. "Butterfly" released today alongside a lyric video, and marks the official follow up to recent fan favorite "Walk To The One You Love". Read a further description of the song's inspiration below, and get ready for a new Twin Peaks album to arrive May 13.
