Tyler Butler is a meticulous existentialist with a talent for wavering synth lines and lyrics that quietly speak of his tempestuous relationship with his hometown. Layering of understated guitars and unassuming waves of synthesizer create a subtlety of music that finds an antithesis in the poignant and direct storytelling of his lyrics. Known for quoting conversations and reiterating intimate moments from his life in his songs, Tyler is not afraid to bear his heart, and his girlfriend’s, in the name of good songwriting.
Biannual Canadian tours keep him stocked with enough prairie landscapes and time for introverted self-musings to satiate us with a steady output of EPs. Tyler’s latest eight-song endeavour was the first folk-music release associated with Joe Gurba’s (The Joe) Old Ugly Recording Co.

its been awhile since i've done any recording. been putting my time on getting the 'hi-five for lo-fi records' thing up and going. if you haven't, you should check it out (and let me know what you think).
also, would you be cool with me doing a blog type thing on you (i was thinking a song, few words, picture and link back to your myspace)? just started using tumblr and am trying to 'blog' more as part of the 'hi-five for lo-fi records' thing. i have 'orcas' and 'cold bodies' or if you want you could email me a track you'd rather have used.
anyways, let me know when your album is coming out.
Thnx so much for finding me. Been here, on myspace, only a few weeks now and it's amazing how fast things spread, apparently. Love your songs - and it struck me how they have a similar 'look and feel' to some of mine. Listen to my "Time of Shadows" for example - if u can find the time that is.
man....your music is incredibly soothing and ethereal. incredible work. it only makes sense that you'd be gigging with zachary lucky. thanks again for the gig invite, and i'm sorry that I couldn't help you out. Keep the songs a-comin'. Best regards from Saskatoon.
