Shane Butler – “Devotee”
Shane Butler has released “Devotee”, a new track from his debut solo album, *Heavy Debt*, due next month. The song turns to his mother’s life and the paths she might have taken, offering a personal perspective on the spiritual community where Butler grew up.
Butler says his mother left home at 18 to join a commune after meeting a spiritual teacher, and lived there for more than 25 years; it was where he was raised. “Devotee” pairs intimate, pastoral songwriting with percussion and woodwinds. The album is due on 4 December via Peal Music, following lead single “Ringfinger”; Butler has also announced a series of December and January shows in the US.
