Weird Beard and Echodelick Records present Neutraliser, an auditory collaboration between Mike Vest and Charlie Butler. Neutraliser is an aural exploration of seismic waves created by man-made explosions. Butler’s percussive eruptions and hypnotic drones provide the perfect background for Vest’s sonic wandering and axe-wielding solos. It’s a howling wolf on a three-day bender discharging a fire alarm. Demolished thoughts create destructive tendencies. Neutraliser serves notice.
Mike Vest is a maximum guitarist of countless bands, collaborations and solo ventures, past and present. 11Paranoias, Blown Out, Drunks, Mienakunaru, Melting hand and BONG just to name a few. Mastery at fuzz drone tones,smashed guitars and eternity sustain.
Main Influences: Takashi Mizutani, Fushitsusha, Tomoyuki Aoki
Charlie Butler is a Reading based artist who began a series of solo releases via Weird Beard, Cruel Nature, Fuzzed Up & Astromoon, and Panurus Productions which explore weird, heavy and hypnotic sounds. He is also a member of Cody Noon, Mothertrucker and Head Drop.
Limited to 100 copies split between Echodelick (US), the artists & ourselves.
