Generations Autographed LP (Color)

LP sleeve is signed by Will Butler.

In the five years since Will Butler released his debut album, Policy, hes toured the world both solo and as a member of Arcade Fire, released the Friday Night live album, recorded and released Arcade Fires international #1 album Everything Now, earned his masters degree in public policy from Harvard, hosted a series of touring town halls on local issues (police contracts, prison reform, municipal paid sick leave, voting rights), and spent time raising his three children.

My first record, Policy, was a book of short stories, Butler says. Generations is more of a noveldespairing, funny, a little bit epic A big chunk of this record is asking: Whats my place in American history? Whats my place in Americas present? Both in generalas a participant, as we all are, in the shit thats going downbut, also extremely particularly: me as Will Butler, rich person, white person, Mormon, Yankee, parent, musician of some sort, I guess. What do I do? What can I do? The record asks that question over and over, even if its not much for answers.

Generations was recorded and produced by Butler in the basement of his home in Brooklyn. Tracking finished in March 2020, as New York closed down for the pandemic. Half the record was mixed in Montreal by longtime Arcade Fire engineer Mark Lawson, the other half by Brooklyn-based producer Shiftee.

Album includes a digital download.
