Bonnie "Prince" Billy Preps New Single
Bonnie
"Prince" Billy might want to ease on down the road a bit, as he's been overexerting himself lately. Will Oldham's previously reported
"Lay and Love" CD/7" hasn't even landed yet (it's due in the UK January 22 via Domino and January 23 in America on Drag City) and
he's already got another release on the way.
"Strange Form of Life", the fourth single from last year's The Letting Go, comes out on Drag City on March 15. In addition to the title track, the disc also includes three cuts recorded during Oldham's Daytrotter session last September: "New Partner", "The Sun Highlights the Lack in Each", and "The Seedling".
Oldham kicks off a UK tour on Sunday with his backup band (Azita Youssefi, Aram Stith, Alex Nielsen, Emmett Kelly, Dawn McCarthy). McCarthy alter ego Faun Fables serves as the opening act for the trek, which continues through mid-February. Oldham then heads to Europe for a solo trek in March.
