- Feb 5, 2026‘Butterfly’ doesn’t just reaffirm the endeavour’s relevance; it raises the bar. It may only be February, but this already feels like a defining electronic record of the year.
- Feb 10, 2026Butterfly is the sound of Snaith at his most musically loose-limbed and instinctive, but there is little doubt that the lines between his two main artistic outputs continue to blur.
- Feb 6, 2026His invention for beats and riffs is remarkably fertile throughout, and he applies careful and often striking shading.
- Feb 4, 2026Dan is increasingly using Daphni as a tool with which to broaden the horizons of his own understanding of dance music; to simply to take it at face value, though, it might already be the most relentlessly feel-good album of 2026.
- Feb 4, 2026Taken together, Butterfly feels less like a fusion of Daphni and Caribou, and more like an uninhibited manifestation of Snaith's ever-changing tastes and proclivities.
- MojoFeb 4, 2026A sprawling Daphni DJ set in microcosm, Butterfly is feel-good music of the purest kind. [Mar 2026, p.89]
- UncutFeb 4, 2026Snaith largely maintains the requisite club-friendly bpm rates while deftly integrating more surprising elements. [Mar 2026, p.29]
- Feb 11, 2026The record gets interesting when it lets ugliness in. .... Butterfly comes up short because it mistakes scale for character. Its drops and hooks have been engineered for maximum lift instead of maximum surprise.
