Bonnie “Prince” Billy is readying his second album in as a few years. We Are Collectively Once more, due March 6 by way of No Quarter, was recorded in Louisville, Kentucky, with Will Oldham’s co-producer and engineer Jim Marlowe. Main the file is “They Hold Attempting to Discover You,” which comes with a video choreographed and directed by Abi Elliott. In it, Oldham costumes up as a shaggy woodland monster, which—after a extra nimble inhabitant seemingly swaps into the outfit—proceeds to have interaction a human in an elaborate dance routine.
Oldham says in a press launch, “This file was made nearer to the Ohio River than any I’ve been concerned with since 1993’s Palace Brothers There Is No-One What Will Take Care of You. Louisville’s current-and-past very important musical neighborhood is highlighted on each tune. Catherine Irwin, who sang on the BPB launch Ease Down the Highway, is again right here on ‘Hey Little’ and ‘Vietnam Sunshine.’ Lacey Guthrie, Tory Fisher and Katie Peabody, the three entrance ladies of the band Duchess, sing collectively on the opening and shutting songs, parallel odes to the beast that’s concern.”
Oldham’s follow-up to final yr’s The Purple Bird options contributions from his present tourmates, woodwind participant Jacob Duncan and multi-instrumentalist Thomas Deakin, in addition to Ryder McNair, Chris Bush, Ned Oldham, and Erin Hill.
