"&lt;p&gt;Like Arthur Russell, the late disco visionary whose work his music recalls, Andy Butler makes club jams that transcend the club. The second LP by his group, whose 2008 breakout &amp;quot;Blind&amp;quot; featured Antony Hegarty, is not about showcasing star vocalists, notwithstanding a cameo by &lt;a href=\"../../music/artists/bloc-party\"&gt;Bloc Party&amp;apos;s&lt;/a&gt; Kele Okereke on &amp;quot;Step Up,&amp;quot; a nod to Eighties New York freestyle. Instead, it&amp;apos;s about Butler&amp;apos;s diverse songwriting: flanking idiosyncratic house jams (the single &amp;quot;My House,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I Can&amp;apos;t Wait&amp;quot;) is &amp;quot;Boy Blue,&amp;quot; a soul-folk &amp;quot;It Gets Better&amp;quot; mash note, and &amp;quot;Blue Song,&amp;quot; a cryptic ballad sung over electronics and a beautifully restless clarinet line. The bonus cover of XX&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;Shelter&amp;quot; shows Butler is as good at re-imagining songs as imagining them.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;wm:embed type=\"related\"&gt;&lt;/wm:embed&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Listen to &lt;em&gt;Blue Songs&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; \r\n&lt;object width=\"100%\" height=\"305\" data=\"http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F534464\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\"&gt;\r\n&lt;param name=\"data\" value=\"http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F534464\"&gt;\r\n&lt;param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"&gt;\r\n&lt;param name=\"src\" value=\"http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F534464\"&gt;\r\n&lt;/object&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;#x2022; &lt;a href=\"../../../music/photos/17383/111800\"&gt;Photos: The Week&amp;apos;s Hottest Live Shots&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
