The leadsingle “Going Solo”:
Prism as the third chapter of the “Four Season” series
The new album is part of Butler’s “Four Season” series, which started with “Running River” and “Still Searching”. It was produced together with James Ireland (Pond, San Cisco). Musically, Butler relies on a mix of guitar riffs, percussion elements and catchy chorus.
The pieces range between festival -suitable rock numbers and ballads. In terms of content, it is about topics such as love, loss and politics. Butler emphasizes that he was strongly inspired by his early years as a street musician. The songs initially emerged alone before finalizing the recordings with Ireland.
