    “Unorthodox twenty-something Guy Buttery throws down the gauntlet with an album of incredible versatility and imagination. There are times when it sounds as if there’s a seven-piece band backing Guy Buttery, so complex and rich is the sound, but it’s just him and his acoustic guitar exploring myriad textures and rhythms with an ingenious imagination and scant regard for music industry rules. It’s the kind of album that reveals something new at every turn, the kind of album that never gets old or outstays its welcome.” - JHBLive

about

“Guy Buttery immerses himself entirely into the soul of his guitar, coaxing sonic shapes and forms of such
startling originality from it that his instrument acts as a kind of lightning conductor for the sound of
another realm.” - The Mail & Guardian
