'Smell like teens spirit' - the most appropriate description of False Alarm and their music from the local archetypal imaginer, Sin:Ned, one of the authors and music reviewers in the leading music magazine Music Colony Biweekly (MCB) in Hong Kong. False Alarm started at October, 1999. With people left and joined in, the band evolves as a 5-man band currently. Extremely wild and noisy guitar sounds, with high output and crazy feedback but sweet melodies are the distinctive characteristics of their songs. They have contributed to numbers of local band shows and two compilation albums. The released songs are highly appreciated and recommended by the local music reviewers. In the summer of 2002, False Alarm launched a business on recording the debut album in their band-room. The 11 youthful songs full of LOVE and FIRE disclose the diversified elements of False Alarm-style music. The debut album has been released at May 2003. Excellent and wonderful review articles on the debut album have been given by MCB (vol: 216; 9 marks out of 10) and Next Magazine (vol: ; 4 stars out of 5).

Behind the largely self-taught American musician/composer, JEFFREY BÜTZER’S command of an impressive array of instruments (piano, glockenspiel, guitar, drums, xylophone, bass, banjo, autoharp, ocarina, melodica, accordion, harmonica…and the list goes on) lies an even greater penchant for experimentation and a deep appreciation of a wide range of musical styles. Seeming at first like a jolly dose of gypsy or circus music, his debut album with Lona Records, She Traded Her Leg quickly strikes a chord with its particular brand of percussive lo-fi minimalism tinged with cinematic overtones. And while such ‘baroque’ leanings may seem, to the uninitiated, as the unfocused wanderings of a musician with his finger in too many pies, it is only necessary to hear the play of melodic lines in tracks like “Wooden Giraffe” and “Broken Blunderbuss” to appreciate the uniqueness of Bützer’s musical voice. In the second half of the album (named “One Hundred and Sixty Three Black Bubbles”), things gradually start to take a more introspective turn, with the insertion of gamelan inspired rhythmic elements, violin and autoharp noises; culminating in the longest track of the album “Her Body is a Swamp”. From the circus to the heart of darkness—Bützer’s genre-defying album is hard to beat for its playfulness and sophistication.

It is an all too rare and precious kind of sound that reminds the listener how it was to be a child. It's even more rare when that sound can, in the same stroke, feel both immediate and new, suited in resonances that go beyond simple reminiscence and into revelation. And yet, with 'The Garden of Scissors,' the second full-length album from American composer Jeffrey Butzer from Lona Records, there is no single phrase among its 26 songs that does not radiate some wonderfully strange light. Taking off from where his acclaimed first record 'She Traded Her Leg' began, Jeffrey continues in his knack for the infectious melodic heart that makes up the backbone of his compositions, elucidating each therein with his impressive array of instrumentation including piano, accordion, organ, melodica, guitar, and more. Also notable is the addition of the beautiful vocals of Sanni Baumgartner of Dancer vs Politican on several tracks, whose incantatory German intoning gifts the record with a sultry mystique that in collaboration with Butzer's masterful layering become reminiscent of both Serge Gainsbourg and Ennio Morricone. Composed as a soundtrack for an also Butzer-penned screenplay of the same name, 'The Garden of Scissors' throughout maintains, by turns, tones of Jeunet, Cocteau, and Tati. At times delicate and enchanting as on 'Broken Clock Waltz,' other times more evocative of the haunted or surreal, as with the album's brilliant noir-Western-tinged second act in four pieces, titled 'Suit of Flies,' the whole of the album remains end-to-end enchanted, stuffed for every inch with light 'light that might open doors inside your body' light that will surely, in time, make you young.
