Butterfly Needles is Elijah Ebenezer Wyman's fourth full-length album and his first under his full name. In contrast with his previous album's thoroughly-embellished sound, Butterfly Needles features Elijah alone with his acoustic guitar and dulcimer. The lyrics chronicle Elijah's kidney disease, which was diagnosed in early 2006 and the sparse analog recording is representative of his solo live shows from throughout 2006 and the first half of 2007. One thousand copies of this CD were produced for this pressing, which features black recycled cardboard jackets stunningly printed with black ink. Everyone who orders a Butterfly Needles CD will also get the whole album in mp3 format before receiving the disc in the mail.
