Already known as a core member of Arcade Fire, Will Butler reveals a deep reserve of feeling and nuance on his debut solo album, due in early March on Merge Records. “Policy” is a burnished gem that shares musical DNA with not only his main band, but also the Violent Femmes, Television, and Arthur Russell. The press materials describe it simply as “American music.” Butler’s elastic voice, which at times recalls that of his older brother, Win (Arcade Fire’s frontman), oscillates between world-weary croon and punk sneer. William Pierce Butler is an American multi-instrumentalist and composer who is best known as a core member of the indie rock band Arcade Fire. William plays synthesizer, bass, guitar and percussion.
