RUNNING RIVER

The international roots star is
healing himself and others
through a new album of
meditations, chants and
instrumental beauty.
Running River is a whole different side to
Butler - a journey of healing. Fans of his
classic and ever-evolving masterpiece
"Ocean" will already know the power and
emotion of Butler's instrumentals and
Running River takes this to another level.
The artist shares that it's the makings of an anxious and disjointed society that inspired the
record, saying, "I feel that life in an age of post-truth,social media and relentless data
inundation, environmental,social and politicalstrain, and - if I was not too bold to say global
society collectively, at least in the west - is a bitshattered in the nervous system
department."
In reference to this newly minimalist style, Butler says, "I'm always taken by how music by
itself can make you feel and go to places that you can't get to through intellect. I love when
the lyrics of a song pass the baton onto the music to say everything the lyrics couldn't."
Running River is a soundtrack and prayer for a more peaceful 2024 and the perfect
accompaniment for personal journeys. Whether it's meditating, yoga, massage and

remedial healing work or simply creating an environment for mindfulness in everyday life-
travelling to work, putting the kids to bed or on a long drive, the album is a personal

journey that will mean something different to every listener.
