Charlie Butler is a Lanarkshire based artist who began a series of solo releases in 2021 exploring psychedelic, ambient, heavy and hypnotic sounds alongside being a member of Cody Noon (see 2020’s ‘Ace Of Wands’ cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/ace-of-wands), Neutraliser with Mike Vest (see 2022's 'Capsule Bowed Space' cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/capsule-bowed-space), Mothertrucker and Head Drop. He has had work published by Weird Beard, Cruel Nature, Fuzzed Up & Astromoon, and Panurus Productions.

Parts Unknown" is Butler's first full solo release since moving from Reading to Lanark. These lengthy tracks slowly shift from minimal shimmering repetition to weighty drones and back again, evoking a long journey to a new home and getting to grips with new surroundings while reflecting on the past.

Never get tired of watching GNOD live. a ferocious blend of feedback, astonishing riffing, bleeding guitars and feedback so aggressive you have to take a step back. This great album is slightly more experimental though! jonezyboy
