Edmonton, Alberta songwriter Tyler Butler has re-mastered and re-released his full-length, Winter King on Yer Bird Records. Originally recorded at home in 2010 on lo-fi, the eight tracks of sparse acoustic folk reflect the cold, unforgiving Canadian landscape through lyrics rife with personal and mythological references. Butler’s soft voice hovers and melds with the guitar and accordion, creating a sliver of hope among the wide, open instrumental lines of winter. Check out the album from this promising young musician. – Written by JFelton
