just beautiful
Reuben F gave it an8:
Will Oldham, aka Bonnie "Prince" Billy, can thank the fickle winds of Indie fashion that he has a long pedigree for producing the sort of music that is currently in much demand. It also happens to be one of his best albums. 'Cursed Sleep' is a standout.
fred b gave it a9:
How beautiful to hear BPB dress up his songs, his attempts to "mainstreamize" his style are a success so far (check also the Pink Nasty duet)
mads l gave it a5:
I think Will Oldhams persona (this "wild man in the woods"-shtick) is beginning to wear a bit thin...in my mind he peaked with the magnificent I see a Darkness - this is just a minor rerun with added strings and that horrible backing singer, who certainly does her best at making the music obtrusive in an almost comical way...
Carol R gave it a10:
silly to rank, but whatever it is that this guy does so beautifully, he does it again here. We go with him to that place.
salomey gave it a10:
back in form and - let's face - hardly anyone can touch this man when in form logical progression from Master & Everyone which was also delicious
Tim P gave it a9:
Fucking great.
