Prism CD + Yellow And Blue Vinyl

John Butler, one of Austalias most prolific independent artists, is set to release his latest album PRISM the third installment of his fourpart The Four Seasons project that has already seen the release of the ambient album Running River and the instrumental Still Searching in 2024.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 oneman band that kicked it all off back in the early days of JBs busking prowess, PRISM celebrates the fire and brimstone of this raw talent.On PRISM, Butler laces his deeply personal tales with an epic soundscape and reclaims his classic grooveladen force, brimming with fierce guitars, robust percussion and meteoric choruses.Butlers ability to mine the depths of the human condition, most especially his very own heart space, while consistently expanding his musical tapestry, layering explosive percussion with hypnotic string pickings is second to none.Its a big life and, the world, in many ways, is in turmoil. Personally, I did a lot of soulsearching and reflecting as this record took shape, Butler explains. For me, PRISM is a cathartic release, a celebration of going solo, moving away from the John Butler Trio moniker, and yet another sonic stretch as I continue to refine my musical journey. The title reflects the sonic and emotional bandwidth I wanted to explore the whole spectrum of what it is to be human. Love, death, politics, inner and outer turmoil and redemption.
