Review of Strange Form Of Life EP by Bonnie Prince Billy
Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy
Strange Form Of Life
EP Review
Taken from his 2006 record ‘The Letting Go’, Strange Form Of Life is the latest single/EP release from the prolific ‘jack of all trades’ Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy.
This single sees Will Oldham combine with Dawn McCarthy to bring contrasting vocals among gentle percussion & a combination of electric & acoustic arrangements to deliver a deep, country-tinged (yet incredibly contemporary) soundscape. The following three songs (which were recorded whilst on tour last year) see ‘Prince’ Billy take a more stripped down approach and you even get 2 videos to boot. Well worth the purchase.
