Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy & Trembling Bells, New Year’s Eve’s The Loneliest Night Of The Year 7”, 201
Trembling Bells is the vehicle of main woman Lavinia Blackwall along with Alex Neilson, an old friend of Oldham’s, someone who he’d already collaborated with on his live album Is It The Sea? Trembling Bells are a multi-instrument folk rock band … Continue reading

Bonnie “Prince” Billy / The Black Swans, Sing Larry Jon Wilson split 7″, 2010
Back in 1997 Will Oldham released a split single (with Rising Shotgun) of songs by ‘country outlaw’ artist David Allen Coe. Larry Jon Wilson might be considered another of these ‘country outlaw’ artists who eschewed commercialism in favour of staying … Continue reading

Bonnie “Prince” Billy & The Cairo Gang, Midday/You Win 7″, 2010

This 5 track EP was released in September 2010 only a few months after The Wild Hunt. Perhaps the songs here were overflow, unused b-sides, or maybe Matsson was tying up loose ends. For me, it’s the least interesting thing … Continue reading
Tindersticks, Falling Down A Mountain, 2010
The first thing to note about Falling Down A Mountain is the departure of three original members, whose places have been filled by chaps who’ve nudged the band just a tad into a looser, groovier direction – one that we haven’t … Continue reading

The Tallest Man On Earth, The Wild Hunt, 2010
I read a few reviews of The Wild Hunt when it got released in 2010, saw the name ‘Dylan’ mentioned a lot, played through the 90 second samples on iTunes and was immediately sold. Ordered myself a copy of the … Continue reading
