It wasn’t the drugs, the unceasing media attention, or Weeks’ increasingly erratic habits that finally forced them apart. It was just that, after five years of being Butter, Adelman and Weeks wanted to return to their solo careers. It was a sad moment for their many fans—as it was for the duo themselves who, since 2000 and their hit release Lunette, had spent long and happy hours together both in the studio developing new work and taking it on the road to international fairs and festivals. All we are left with now are the memories, the hope of a reunion tour in the not-too-distant future, and the knowledge that whatever Adelman and Weeks go on to make independently, the spirit of Butter will continue to shine.

But Seriously...
