Dark Times- Symphony No. 2

Dark Times (Symphony No. 2) is the eagerly anticipated follow up to Cam Butler's critically lauded 2006 See (Symphony No. 1) and is no less than Butler's fifth solo outing since 2003, to accompany the four albums by his band Silver Ray. Like all of Butler's music, the notable things about this new record are its cinematic breadth, stunning instrumentation and Butler's sometimes other-worldly guitar playing. Variously cinematic, operatic, infectious and moody, Dark Times is eight engrossing tracks of pure musical emotion from this stunningly individual artist.
