Percival – Killing Butterflies

Vinyl Edition

Before the chansons, there was the fire.

Killing Butterflies reveals another side of Percival — darker, louder, and unapologetically rock. Driven by electric guitars, sharp edges, and a voice that cuts straight through the noise, the album moves between glam-tinged rock, alternative grit, and raw emotional intensity.

This record captures Percival in a completely different musical landscape: bold, restless, and fearless. The title track “Killing Butterflies” sets the tone with biting energy and lyrical tension, while the album as a whole unfolds like a series of confrontations — with society, with identity, and with the fragile things we destroy without thinking.

For those who know Percival from the chanson stage, this album reveals the other current running underneath: the rock artist who refuses to stay in one box.

Killing Butterflies is Percival unleashed.

Merci Monsieur Legrand is a dramatic and deeply moving tribute to the music of Michel Legrand.

Across six carefully chosen songs — drawn from film and timeless repertoire — Percival delivers powerful, emotionally charged interpretations in English and French. The arrangements are stripped back to piano, with cello on selected tracks, allowing the voice and the writing to take center stage.

This is not a nostalgic recreation. It is a bold, personal reimagining.

Every phrase is intentional. Every silence speaks.

A statement record — elegant, intense, and unapologetically emotional.
