Blunt Chunks doesn't sound like a band named Blunt Chunks should.

After giving her project a "dumb weed joke" handle at the beginning, Toronto musician Caitlin Woelfle-O'Brien has spent a decade trading under it; making increasingly beautiful and ornate music, atmospheric songs etched with echoes of classic soul records.

"Every adult that hears the name, and some peers as well, all [react]: 'What? That's your name?'" Wolefle-O'Brien admits. "And I'm like: 'the music sounds different to the name!'"

With the release of her debut Blunt Chunks LP, The Butterfly Myth, Woelfle-O'Brien talks candidly to Anthony Carew on The International Pop Underground about recording, battling self-doubts and her inner critic, the mythological symbolism of butterflies, and "making beautiful pop music with this gross name."
