"What first comes to mind is that he might have chosen another pseudonym for Some Beans & an Octopus, since it bears no resemblance to anything previously released under the Vert name. In brief, Some Beans finds Butler trying his hand at vocal-based music that falls somewhere between low-key, Streets-informed rap and rhythmic spoken word. He spins odd and surreal tales over a busy, indistinct backing that alludes to ragtime, hip-hop, AM radio ballads, jazz swing, and Kurt Weil, to name just a few touchstones." www.pitchformedia.com
