John Butler - Prism (Black 2LP)

John Butler, one of Australia’s most prolific independent artists has today announced a September 5 release date for his tenth studio album ‘Prism’, available to pre-order now.

While ‘Prism’ possesses a full throttle band sound, it was crafted entirely solo by Butler and uber producer James Ireland (POND, San Cisco), both sharing instrumentation and production responsibilities.

Marking a formal departure from the John Butler Trio moniker and hurtling headlong into the power of the one-man “band” that kicked it all off back in the early days of JB’s busking prowess, ‘Prism’ celebrates the fire and brimstone of this raw talent.

The ARIA award winner’s deft musicality has kept him on our airwaves for more than 20 years.

On ‘Prism’, Butler laces his deeply personal tales with an epic soundscape and reclaims his classic groove-laden force, brimming with fierce guitars, robust percussion and meteoric choruses.

There are radio-friendly earworms that will generate instant festival singalongs, mosh pit frenzied rock outs, and soulful ballads that are as pensive as they are stirring.

‘Prism’ is Season Three of Butler’s Four Season roll-out - which includes previously released album of meditations (‘Running River’) and a fully instrumental album (‘Still Searching’).
