In Episode #181 of The XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar speaks to songwriter and producer Bernard Butler to discuss Good Grief – his first new solo album in 25 years.
Between then and now, Butler had ventured into the world of pop songwriting and producing, including two seminal albums with folk musician Sam Lee, a Mercury nominated project with actor Jessie Buckley as well as working with Bert Jansch and Ben Watt from Everything But The Girl, The Libertines, Tricky and an eight-million selling, Grammy-winning record with Duffy.
In this interview, Bernard discusses the writing and recording of Good Grief, upcoming live shows, music production, and much more. Listen to episode #181 of The XS Noize Podcast with Bernard Butler – BELOW:

Good Grief finds Bernard Butler owning three decades of work, free to perform, bookended by wildly contrasting experiences of loss, joy, and bewilderment. The album is a journey from city to coast and back, and between it, an entire spectrum of human emotion.
