Following the success of Silver Ray’s Humans, released at the tail end of 2004 following the band’s UK tour supporting Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Broken Horse is extremely proud to release the new solo album by the Silver Ray leader/guitarist Cam Butler. Humans encountered praise almost everywhere it went (Uncut, Mojo, The Guardian, Observer etc) , but with Go Slow, Cam Butler has produced perhaps his most ambitious and greatest work to date. Cam’s debut album Crazy Dreams was released in Australia in 2003 but this time around with the help of a Victoria Arts grant he was able to realise the sounds in his head by being able to afford to hire a 20 piece string orchestra to record the string parts he had written one Sunday afternoon in March 2004. Enlisting the talents of Silver Ray’s drummer Brett Poliness, Go Slow was basically recorded live with only the strings overdubbed at the final stage of recording… ‘Whilst most of Silver Ray’s tracks hover around the ten minute mark, the tracks on Go Slow are shorter and tighter in terms of arrangement with the music finding much more of a groove such as on the title track and Brothers & Sisters. Nonetheless, epic is probably still going to be the adjective of choice when describing the music on Go Slow. Cam describes the different writing processes thus, ‘In Silver Ray I write most of the stuff first and then give it to the band and then we proceed to completely change it from how it was. My "solo" material uses pieces that wouldn't work in the Ray world, perhaps more guitar-based or more spooky things. Most of these pieces still need to be played live to see how they will work.’ Go Slow contains five Butler originals alongside the re-working of the traditional sea shanty Shenandoah.
