Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy – Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You

Description

‘Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You’ presents simply an album made as it was meant to be heard, in a room. The sound of people together – a sound we’d so recently feared that we’d lost – playing, communing, strings and wood and keys and voices singing. ‘Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You’ presents simply, and is sung along easily and happily with in time, but is it family portrait or fairy tale? How does it think the world was made, and will end?

‘Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You’ was recorded in Louisville by Nick Roeder, featuring Sara Louise Callaway on violin, Kendall Carter on keys, Elisabeth Fuchsia on viola and violin, Dave Howard on Mandolin, Drew Miller on saxophone and Dane Waters’ voice. The presence of so many local players and music educators in the band lends not only to aflow of moments so fluidly encompassing of a wide range of musics, from classical to Japanese acid folk and elsewhere, but perhaps even more importantly, to the sense of community, heredity and the triumph of inheritance that is the marrow and life blood of this music.
