What’s the deal? Toronto quartet Unbuttoned is a close-knit pack of friends whose relationships date back as far as their junior high-school days in Caledon, which might explain the unique musical language in which they converse. It’s not the sort of music that’s terribly easy to describe, nor is it always immediately easy to digest; one really has to sink into Unbuttoned and swim around in the vibe for awhile before it starts making sense. Being challenged is rarely a bad thing, though, and such fearless artistic adventurism is exceedingly hard to come by. These cats might reach a few more people if they pushed the songwriting further to the fore, but one gets the impression Unbuttoned is content making the sounds that Unbuttoned itself wants to hear.
