Release Date: 04 Nov 2022
Genre: Folk/Americana

 Rayland Baxter’s new release, ‘If I Was A Butterfly’, is his first new album in four years. Released on CD and silver vinyl, the album is certainly his most experimental - diving deep into the indie psych space - but keeping the essence of Rayland’s beautiful songwriting.
 A couple of years ago, Rayland released a Mac Miller tribute EP, ‘Good Mmornin’. Rayland was deeply inspired by Mac’s music but he approached it from an entirely different perspective. It was surely an experiment yet it really worked. It’s been incredible to see how this project connected with core Rayland fans
and Mac fans alike - it expanded his following to a
whole new space.
 The Mac Miller project was a bridge from Rayland’s last album, ‘Wide Awake’, which came out in 2018. Since then, Rayland has been through a lot of heavy experiences. His father, the legendary pedal steel player Bucky Baxter (toured with Bob Dylan), died suddenly. Rayland went through heartbreak and found new love.
