Useful takeaways from this story.

Two songs visible in the list — “Lights Out” and “Butterfly” — appear elsewhere in recent coverage tied to a new album called Catch My Butterfly.

Notes on the board indicate some tracking progress: “Butterfly” has a drums notation and “If It’s Over” mentions a solo.

‘IV’ may reflect the band counting earlier releases (a pre-debut EP or last year’s live album), and the band currently has no scheduled live dates listed.

# What the teaser shows

# The song list and recording notes The 14 titles shown on the board are:

  • Lights Out
  • Butterfly
  • If It's Over
  • Times [?]
  • I Shoulda Known
  • Good for You
  • Wanderlust
  • Sweeter
  • American Lies
  • No Way Out
  • New Blood
  • Poison
  • Numb
  • Lullaby

Some of the songs carry short progress notes. The visible annotations include a drums notation beside "Butterfly" and a comment about a solo for "If It's Over." Other progress comments are obscured by LaBelle's position in the photo.

# Why "IV"? How the band might be counting The chalkboard's "Dirty Honey IV" heading raises a numbering question. To date the band has released two studio albums: the 2021 self-titled record and 2023's Can't Find the Brakes. The "IV" could mean the band is counting additional prior releases when numbering this project — for example, a 2021 self-titled EP that preceded the debut album or a recent live album, Mayhem and Revelry. The post itself does not explain the numbering.

# Other reporting connected to these songs Separate outlets have reported that two of the titles visible in the teaser, "Lights Out" and "Butterfly," have been released as new songs tied to a forthcoming album called Catch My Butterfly. Those reports list a January 15, 2027 release date for Catch My Butterfly and identify the two songs as singles that accompany the album announcement. The band's members and a producer are quoted in those pieces about the record's direction and recording process.

# Band activity and next steps At the moment of the Instagram post, there are no scheduled live performances listed for the band. The chalkboard post suggests studio focus: multiple song titles, individual tracking notes, and a short audio tease. Fans and reporters are treating the image as a formal or informal announcement of new material while different outlets report an album title and singles tied to the same songs shown on the board.
