Bonnie “Prince” Billy, the alter ego of American songwriter Will Oldham (see also: Palace, Palace Brothers, Palace Music, …), is coming to AB to present his new album *We Are Together Again*. 

On this record, Oldham reflects on a changing world and on what remains when familiar structures disappear. Bonnie “Prince” Billy focuses on collaboration, friendship and community, and emphasises the importance of making music as a collective act. Not as a denial of loss or decline, but as a conscious choice to remain engaged and creative.

The album was recorded at End of an Ear Studios in Louisville, Kentucky, and continues Oldham’s recent trajectory of working deliberately in his hometown. Following I Made A Place and Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You, he once again confirms his preference for understated arrangements and an organic group dynamic under the familiar banner of Bonnie “Prince” Billy.

Live, this translates into a focused and intense set in which new songs sit alongside older material. A concert that focuses on attention, detail and the power of ensemble playing, delivered by one of the most consistent and idiosyncratic voices in contemporary folk and Americana.

“The most straightforward of Oldham's catalogue, and yet still rich with the oneiric and mysterious qualities that drew so many listeners to his art.” - Uncut 

“Mystical, alluring and straight from the heart, We Are Together Again cements Oldham's reputation as a major force in the singer-songwriter tradition.” - The Wire
