Bonnie “Prince” Billy announces new album, We Are Together Again

Will Oldham AKA Bonnie “Prince” Billy’s new studio album We Are Together Again will be released on March 6 via Domino/No Quarter. It was recorded in End Of An Ear Studios in Louisville with current tourmates Jacob Duncan (flute and saxophone) and Thomas Deakin (clarinet, whistle, baritone electric guitar, accordion, cornet), along with Ryder McNair, Chris Bush, Ned Oldham and Erin Hill. The album was co-produced by Oldham and Jim Marlowe.

Watch a video for “They Keep Trying To Find You” – produced by Jake Forman and choreographed and directed by Abi Elliott – below:

“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,” says Oldham. “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 frontwomen of the band Duchess, sing together on the opening and closing songs, parallel odes to the beast that is fear.”

Bonnie “Prince” Billy will launch the album with an ‘outstore’ show at St Giles’ Church in Camberwell, London, on January 26 – pre-order the album for ticket access here.

We Are Together Again will be available on standard vinyl, CD (with poster) and digitally, as well a limited transparent vinyl edition with exclusive art print (pre-order here). Peruse the artwork and tracklisting below.
