Stereogum Album of the Week: Bonnie “Prince” Billy 'I Made A Place' - "quiet and ruminative"
Share
'I Made A Place' is the first proper album of new Bonnie “Prince” Billy songs in eight years, and the latest Stereogum's choice for Album of the Week. Sonically - "the songs on 'I Made A Place' are quiet and ruminative, and they’re pretty deeply rooted in old-timey folk music", and lyrically "Oldham has always been great at writing strange little turns of phrase that stick with you, and he has plenty of those on 'I Made A Place'", like this one - "Everything upon which you base your faith is made of vapor, and it won’t last / It’s only everything in our shared reality that keeps our souls held fast”.
