Cam Butler's beautiful new album, Dark Times (Symphony No. 2), is out in good record shops in Australia now. It's on limited release in shops in the UK too. It is available via online mailorder here.

"Variously cinematic, operatic, infectious and moody, Dark Times is eight engrossing tracks of pure musical emotion."

"It's almost as if Butler is painting with sounds. Dark Times is an album that will wash over you like a tempestuous ocean but reward you with deeper and deeper impressions the more you listen to it, like a bottomless, unknowable, but endlessly fascinating lake."

Free downloads of 2 songs from Dark Times

Cam Butler has teamed up with renowned Australian drummer,
Mark Dawson to form a guitar / drums duo called
The Coralinas. The Coralinas are a natural
progression of Cam's solo work for guitar and
live looping now brought to life with one of
Australia's most respected
drummers and percussionists.

Mark is a perfect foil for Cam's inspirational
guitar work, sometimes using mallets, his
hands and percussion as a support to Cam's
guitar loops and grooves. Partially composed,
partially improvised, dark and mesmeric,
spontaneous and exciting, live and with an
almost hypnotic feel, a dreamy album of this material
has been recorded. Entitled Free Energy, the album
was recorded in full valve and 2" tape glory over a number
of sessions in late 2008 at Soundpark Studios in Northcote, Melbourne. It will be released by Z-Man Records in Australia & Europe in March 2010.
