Strange Form Of Life [Digipak]

Performer: Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Distributor: Caroline Distribution

Notes: Personnel: Paul Oldham, Dawn McCarthy, Jim White, Emmett Kelly. More than just the first single from Bonnie Prince Billy's THE LETTING GO album, the four-track EP STRANGE FORM OF LIFE contains three excellent non-LP tracks by singer-songwriter Will Oldham. Oldham's familiar country-influenced sound is apparent throughout this stripped-down EP, particularly on the outstanding reading of the Palace favorite "New Partner." STRANGE FORM OF LIFE also includes two enhanced CD-ROM videos for the title track and "Ebb Tide."

One of several monikers employed by country maverick Will Oldham, Bonnie "Prince" Billy became the artist's favored voice during the late 1990s and into the 2000s. The debut full-length I SEE A DARKNESS was hailed as one of Oldham's finest releases, augmenting the Appalachian gothic of his earlier work with additional instrumentation. In the always enigmatic artist threw fans a delightful curveball with 2004's SINGS GREATEST PALACE MUSIC, on which the singer-songwriter revisited his own back catalogue with a group of Nashville session musicians. As the 2000s rolled on, the Bonnie sobriquet would come to represent Oldham at perhaps his most prolific and challenging; he would collaborate with post-rock act Tortoise, cover a broad range of artists from Danzig to Bjork, and release several stunning original full-lengths.
