Will Butler previews debut solo album with new trailer

Following last week’s news that he’d be releasing his debut solo album, Arcade Fire’s Will Butler has released a trailer for ‘Policy’.

Spanning just over a minute - beginning with a shot of Will sitting on a toilet - the trailer hints at a bonkers, half-disco, horn-stuffed bout of madness, a big far cry from the anthemia of Arcade Fire’s ‘Reflektor’.

According to a statement, the album is set to contain “American music — in the tradition of the Violent Femmes, the Breeders, the Modern Lovers, Bob Dylan, Smokey Robinson, the Magnetic Fields, Ghostface Killah. And John Lennon (which counts).”

The record’s lead track, ‘Take My Side’, is set to air tonight (24th November) on Zane Lowe from 8pm GMT.

Watch the ‘Policy’ trailer below. The album’s out 10th March via Merge Records in the States, 9th March in the UK.
