Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy announces new album, touring (listen to “Bananas”)
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy has announced a new album, Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You, which will be out August 11 via Drag City. It was recorded in Louisville by Nick Roeder, and played as live as possible with Sara Louise Callaway on violin, Kendall Carter on keys, Elisabeth Fuchsia on viola and violin, Dave Howard on mandolin, Drew Miller on saxophone, singer Dane Waters, and regular side-man Emmett Kelly.
The first single off the album is the spare and pretty "Bananas," and you can watch the hand-animated video by Ethan Osman below.
You can catch Bonnie 'Prince' Billy on tour this summer and fall, including dates with Faun Fables, Myriam Gendron and Laurel Premo. He'll also play the Tubby's Kingston 5th Anniversary party in September. All dates are listed below.
