Butterfly Assassins
This quintet of college students sounds wise beyond their years, perhaps because four of them have played together since the summer after eighth grade. (Cellist Kate Wakefield was added after singer-keyboardist Brian Trahan met her at the University of Michigan). On the just-released album “Sylvia” the band crafts epic, classically influenced rock with help from the chilling mix of piano and cello.

Listen: “Sylvia II”
