Butterfly
Written as a love letter to the city of Barcelona as a place of equality and tolerance, Butterfly moves between socio-political commentary and the experience of slowly adapting to a new environment and culture.
The Project
The Ediacaran operate less as a traditional band than as an open creative framework for collaboration, drawing on influences from indie, folk, alternative R&B and reggae. Built around the long-standing collaboration between German artists Bastido (Bastian Kladny) and Mr.Mahous (Florian Hausner), the project has gradually evolved into a shared space for working with a wider circle of musicians and artists.As their musical and stylistic spectrum expanded, so did the name, which reflects this diversity and deliberately references the Ediacaran, a prehistoric era characterized by early forms of coexistence.With The Ediacaran, producer and singer-songwriter Bastido, whose solo catalog has amassed more than 25 million streams on Spotify since 2018, primarily pursues an organic and handmade sound - not least as a deliberate response to the increasing perfection and overproduction in today’s age of AI-driven music.Following the EP Contemplations, the project will release its debut album A Summer On The Brink on June 19, 2026.
