Will Butler has been a member of the band Arcade Fire for over 10 years. 'Policy', is his first ever solo outing under his own name, out via Merge Records / Inertia.
'Policy' is American music, in the tradition of the Violent Femmes, The Breeders, The Modern Lovers, Bob Dylan, Smokey Robinson, The Magnetic Fields and Ghostface Killah. Music where the holy fool runs afoul of the casual world.
'Policy' was recorded in one week in Jimi Hendrix's old living room (upstairs at Electric Lady Studios). Jeremy Gara played drums; other musicians contributed woodwinds and backing vocals. Most everything else was played by Will.
Vinyl release includes mp3 download card.
