S.B. Butler (Official Music Video)

S.B. Butler is the first music video from Ellery Twining’s second solo album “RESULTS”, released 1 June 2023


On RESULTS, Ellery Twining follows up his critically acclaimed solo debut REVENGE with an exploration into the soundscapes of Post Pop.

He has described the work as “A contextual dissemination of the Generation X transformation into the Post Generation.” Further elaborating, he conveys that there are underlying themes of popular culture, childhood survival tactics, and the consequences of “socially acceptable divorce.”

“This group of songs illustrates the experience of seeing through the eyes of Generation X kids during their childhood, and its reflection.”
