Will Butler of Arcade Fire has already announced a solo album for 2015, Policy, on which we're sure he's looking to prove to us that he can craft some tracks with the same gusto as his brother and Fire frontman Win Butler. It looks the the brothers' band hasn't got anything planned yet for next year as Will already has a solo tour ready to support his new cause, according to NME.
Check out the dates:
03/06: Boston @ TT the Bears
03/07: Brooklyn @ Baby's All Right
03/12: Pittsburgh @ Brillobox
03/13: Philadelphia @ Boot & Saddle
03/14: Washington, DC @ Rock and Roll Hotel
03/15: Durham, NC @ The Earl
03/18-21: Austin, TX @ South by Southwest
03/24: Bloomington, IN @ The Bishop
03/26: Grand Rapids, MI @ Calvin College
03/27: Toronto @ Horseshoe Tavern
03/28: Montreal @ Bar le Ritz PDB
As you probably noticed, he'll be playing a range of dates as South by Southwest if you happen to be in Austin at the time.
We were joking somewhat when we mentioned getting out from under his brother's shadow: The younger Butler has scored a documentary surrounding a Barack Obama impersonator, and earned an Oscar nomination alongside touring violinist Owen Pallett for their soundtrack for the film Her.
As for Policy, a press release compares it to the compiled work of The Breeders, Bob Dylan, Smokey Robinson and Ghostface Killah...which either reflects a way-too-excited press rep or someone a little too confident in themselves. Stay tuned!
