Cam Butler – World Forever
LP / Digital (HEVMAC062)
World Forever is the twelfth solo album by Australian guitar slinger / composer Cam Butler (Silver Ray, Ron S. Peno and the Superstitions).
On this album, Butler expands on his widescreen compositional practice by adding the gargantuan roar of the Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ to his trademark sound palette of string orchestra and rock ensemble.
World Forever sees the gorgeous swoon of Butler’s 28-piece string section enveloped by the deep foreboding growl of the grand organ, while his immanently tasteful band anchors proceedings with gritty rock textures and stately filmic poise.
The result is a psychedelic journey through rich filmic moods, gothic terror scenes and vivid technicolour beauty, conjuring Butler’s most strident and cinematic work to date.
This is a limited edition of 300 ultramarine vinyl copies, featuring OBI strip, printed inner sleeve, design by Luke Fraser and photography by Cam Butler.
File under: soundtrack / neo-romantic / classical rock
