John Butler Returns With New Solo Album ‘PRISM'
John Butler is stepping into a bold new era. The ARIA Award-winning musician has officially announced his tenth studio album, PRISM, which is set to arrive Sept. 5. The announcement lands alongside the release of the album's second single, 'So Sorry,' out today (May 28). More from Billboard Shaun Cassidy Gets Ready for the Longest Tour of His 45-Year Career: 'I Felt the Need to Connect with People' 'Luther' Ties 'Not Like Us' for Most Weeks at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart Bono Cheekily Weighs in On Springsteen Vs. Trump Squabble: 'There's Only One Boss in America' Marking a significant shift away from the John Butler Trio moniker, PRISM was recorded entirely solo with producer James Ireland (POND, San Cisco), who co-handled instrumentation and production duties. 'It's a big life and the world, in many ways, is in turmoil. Personally, I did a lot of soul-searching and reflecting as this record took shape,' Butler shared in a statement. 'For me, PRISM is a cathartic release, a celebration of going solo, moving away from the John Butler Trio moniker, and yet another sonic stretch as I continue to refine my musical journey. The title reflects the sonic and emotional 'bandwidth' I wanted to explore: the whole spectrum of what it is to be human. Love, death, politics, inner and outer turmoil and redemption.' Butler added, 'On the deeply reflective single, 'So Sorry,' Butler explores the long shadows cast by enduring relationships. 'You get together as 'kids' and if you're lucky, you learn how to regulate and become adults together. But no one gets out unscathed.' PRISM is part three in Butler's ambitious Four Seasons project, following 2024's Running River (an ambient meditation album) and Still Searching (an all-instrumental LP). Described as both 'contemplative and explosive,' the upcoming release promises an eclectic blend of festival-ready anthems, groove-heavy rock, and soul-searching ballads. Butler performed at Bluesfest earlier this year and is set to kick off a major U.S. tour across June, July and August, with Australian headline dates to be announced soon. One of Australia's most successful independent artists, Butler's accolades include multiple platinum records, ARIA Awards, and several No. 1 albums on the ARIA Albums Chart. His 2018 LP HOME debuted at No. 1 and saw him experiment with expanded instrumentation and electronic textures, paving the way for PRISM's continued sonic evolution. PRISM arrives Sept. 5 and is available for pre-save and pre-order now.

Controversial Margaret River resort plans green-lit by EPA
A $138 million luxury resort has been given the green light by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) in Western Australia's South West. The five-star resort will be built by developer Saracen Properties on Wallcliffe Road at Gnarabup Beach, 8 kilometres south of Margaret River. It will feature a 121 rooms, 51 beach houses, 25 apartments and a general store and cafe. The controversial project has drawn significant criticism over the years, including from high-profile surfer Taj Burrow and musician John Butler. There are concerns about the resort's ecological impact, reduced visual amenity, and inadequate Aboriginal consultation and consideration of culture and heritage. The resort's sole access road has also been flagged as a bushfire risk. The beachfront site has been earmarked for a resort development as early as 2006. The EPA took three years to assess the development application, submitted through the State Development Assessment Unit. More than 2,500 submissions were made as part of the public review period. In a statement, EPA chair Darren Walsh admitted the project would change the natural landscape and visual character of the area. However, strict conditions have been put in place, including a maximum height limit of 7 metres for the resort area and 8m for the village area. Other recommendations include no disturbance to Aboriginal cultural heritage in the development envelope and minimising impacts on the habitat of migratory shorebirds. Margaret River Coastal Residents Association president and Gnarabup resident Adrian Wilson said there were quite a few "inconsistencies" in the EPA's report. "One of the main problems is they don't consider stuff like traffic, infrastructure, social impact, fire," he told Peter Barr on WA Regional Mornings. "They've also said the sewerage system is inadequate and this development depends on an upgrade. So they've sort of washed their hands of it. "The EPA is relying on the developer doing a bunch of stuff and our experience is, the developer is not interested in anything they can't directly relate to this development. Lee Burkett has operated the nearby Margarets Beach Resort at Gnarabup Beach for the past 18 years. He said while he understood the backlash from residents, the development would boost tourism in Margaret River. "Most weekends are full throughout the year and it's only going to get more popular," Mr Burkett said. "We live in the best place in the world and if people want that and are prepared to pay for that type of accommodation, they deserve it. "Every one is entitled to their opinion to this development and if that's what they [the government departments] have come up with, then so be it." In a statement, a Saracen Properties spokesperson said the developer was pleased to have received EPA support. The spokesperson said the project was carefully designed from the outset, with strong consideration for the area's environmental and heritage values. A three-week public appeal period is now open and will close on June 18. Environment Minister Matthew Swinbourn will then be tasked with the final decision on the proposal.

With 28% ownership, NACCO Industries, Inc. (NYSE:NC) has piqued the interest of institutional investors
Given the large stake in the stock by institutions, NACCO Industries' stock price might be vulnerable to their trading decisions A total of 12 investors have a majority stake in the company with 51% ownership 26% of NACCO Industries is held by insiders To get a sense of who is truly in control of NACCO Industries, Inc. (NYSE:NC), it is important to understand the ownership structure of the business. And the group that holds the biggest piece of the pie are institutions with 28% ownership. In other words, the group stands to gain the most (or lose the most) from their investment into the company. Given the vast amount of money and research capacities at their disposal, institutional ownership tends to carry a lot of weight, especially with individual investors. Therefore, a good portion of institutional money invested in the company is usually a huge vote of confidence on its future. Let's delve deeper into each type of owner of NACCO Industries, beginning with the chart below. View our latest analysis for NACCO Industries Institutions typically measure themselves against a benchmark when reporting to their own investors, so they often become more enthusiastic about a stock once it's included in a major index. We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing. As you can see, institutional investors have a fair amount of stake in NACCO Industries. This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it. But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. It is not uncommon to see a big share price drop if two large institutional investors try to sell out of a stock at the same time. So it is worth checking the past earnings trajectory of NACCO Industries, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too. It would appear that 12% of NACCO Industries shares are controlled by hedge funds. That worth noting, since hedge funds are often quite active investors, who may try to influence management. Many want to see value creation (and a higher share price) in the short term or medium term. Rankin Management, Inc is currently the company's largest shareholder with 12% of shares outstanding. Meanwhile, the second and third largest shareholders, hold 5.7% and 4.8%, of the shares outstanding, respectively. Additionally, the company's CEO John Butler directly holds 4.5% of the total shares outstanding. After doing some more digging, we found that the top 12 have the combined ownership of 51% in the company, suggesting that no single shareholder has significant control over the company. While studying institutional ownership for a company can add value to your research, it is also a good practice to research analyst recommendations to get a deeper understand of a stock's expected performance. Our information suggests that there isn't any analyst coverage of the stock, so it is probably little known. While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves. Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group. Our information suggests that insiders maintain a significant holding in NACCO Industries, Inc.. Insiders own US$61m worth of shares in the US$237m company. We would say this shows alignment with shareholders, but it is worth noting that the company is still quite small; some insiders may have founded the business. You can click here to see if those insiders have been buying or selling. With a 23% ownership, the general public, mostly comprising of individual investors, have some degree of sway over NACCO Industries. While this group can't necessarily call the shots, it can certainly have a real influence on how the company is run. We can see that Private Companies own 11%, of the shares on issue. It might be worth looking deeper into this. If related parties, such as insiders, have an interest in one of these private companies, that should be disclosed in the annual report. Private companies may also have a strategic interest in the company. I find it very interesting to look at who exactly owns a company. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Take risks for example - NACCO Industries has 2 warning signs we think you should be aware of. Of course this may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free free list of interesting companies.
