Self Portrait :: out now ::
Cam Butler (Cam Butler & The Shadows Of Love, The
Coralinas, Ron S. Peno & The Superstitions, Silver Ray) is a unique electric guitarist and composer with an instantly recognisable sound. Rather than relying on fx, Cam uses plectrums, his fingers, found objects, brushes, capos and tunings to fashion his soulful, 21st century guitar music. A lover of the sound of strings, he has composed epic music for string quartets, string orchestras, singers and bands.
His new album, Self Portrait, is a collection of solo electric guitar instrumentals floating on a cushion of mysterious, other-worldly electro-acoustic backings. It's up on Soundcloud as a mixtape:
Here's Self Portrait on Bandcamp:
Other recent recordings include 2012's Save My Soul, which features a 23 piece string orchestra and, also from 2012, Lonely World, an EP of 4 songs from Cam Butler & The Shadows Of Love. Both these recordings and more can be listened to and purchased on Cam's Bandcamp page.
