However dimly we perceive it, we are living through a change of worlds. The one we were born into is slipping away, reshaped and denuded by human action. What remains is the question of what we will carry forward, and how we will refuse to surrender ourselves. Will Oldham's new album, We Are Together Again, feels like an answer. In Oldham's songs - and in the circle of others gathered beneath the name Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - friendship, community, and the stubborn joy of making art with others become a means of persistence. This isn't a denial of collapse, which would be delusion, but a kind of defiance: remaining fully human, fully joyful, in a world with a diminishing horizon.

"We Are Together Again" was recorded at End of an Ear studios in Louisville, Kentucky. After a brief sojourn in Nashville for The Purple Bird it continues his recent ambition - beginning with "I Made A Place" and "Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You" - to make records in Louisville.
