Brand New Official Music Video
Coinciding with the release of Guy Buttery's new album "To Disappear in Place" (available exclusively on vinyl) is Guy's first official music video for the album. Conceptualised, filmed and edited by Greg Lomas (www.greglomasphotography.co.za) who also did the art design for the record, it eloquently captures the powerfully subtle process of “To Disappear in Place” via the title track 7” Postcard.

Young South African fingerstyle guitarist Guy Buttery has released his newest album on vinyl format with a wealth of new, never before released content. Buttery, who won last year’s 'Best Instrumental Album' at the 2010 South African Music Awards for his album “Fox Hill Lane”, will hand-number and personalize each of the 300 available Limited Edition LP copies sold. The album, pressed in Holland on 180 gram virgin vinyl, will appear online today at Bandcamp (http://guybuttery.bandcamp.com/) and includes a coupon insert for an MP3 download.
Despite the on-going change in the industry, vinyl records have remained a sought after product to serious music fundi’s, DJ's and album collectors. If anything, with the rise and rise of digital music, the vinyl has become a sort of antidote symbol for those that value the tangible embodiment of hard copy albums. LP sales have increased where CD sales have dropped, probably because they represent authenticity to fans. For Buttery, it is a way of recognizing independence within the industry, to develop his music and distribute it in ways that fit with him and his personality, by ultimately going the indie route. Releasing a vinyl record in South Africa does exactly that.
