Singer-songwriter Bonnie "Prince" Billy (aka Will Oldham) is back with a quick follow-up to last year's The Purple Bird. Oldham's 31st (!) studio album, We Are Together Again, is out March 6 via No Quarter.
The 10-track record was produced alongside Jim Marlowe in Louisville. Oldham has also shared the first single, "They Keep Trying to Find You", which comes with a video choreographed and directed by Abi Elliott, in which Oldham dons a woolly monster costume, natch. Watch below:
Oldham says of the new album:
"This record was made closer to the Ohio River than any I’ve been involved with since 1993’s Palace Brothers There Is No-One What Will Take Care of You. Louisville’s current-and-past vital musical community is highlighted on every song. Catherine Irwin, who sang on the BPB release Ease Down the Road, is back here on ‘Hey Little’ and ‘Vietnam Sunshine.’ Lacey Guthrie, Tory Fisher, and Katie Peabody, the three front women of the band Duchess, sing together on the opening and closing songs, parallel odes to the beast that is fear."
The record also features contributions from woodwind player Jacob Duncan, multi-instrumentalist Thomas Deakin, Ryder McNair, Chris Bush, Ned Oldham, and Erin Hill.
