Bonnie “Prince” Billy announces new album ‘We Are Together Again’

Will Oldham, the enigmatic force behind the Bonnie “Prince” Billy moniker, has announced his latest studio endeavour, We Are Together Again, set for release on March 6th via Domino/No Quarter.

Following the critical success of 2025’s The Purple Bird (reviewed here and also a KLOF Mag Album of the Year), Oldham returns to his home turf of Louisville, Kentucky. Interestingly, work on these ten tracks predates his Nashville sessions for the previous record. Last spring, Oldham brought the material to End of an Ear Studios, collaborating with a rich ensemble of local talent, including tourmates Jacob Duncan and Thomas Deakin, as well as Ryder McNair, Chris Bush, and Ned Oldham.

Oldham describes the record as a spiritual successor to his early work, noting:

“This record was made closer to the Ohio River than any I’ve been involved with since 1993’s Palace Brothers There Is No-One What Will Take Care of You. Louisville’s current-and-past vital musical community is highlighted on every song. Catherine Irwin, who sang on the BPB release Ease Down the Road, is back here on “Hey Little” and “Vietnam Sunshine”. Lacey Guthrie, Tory Fisher and Katie Peabody, the three front women of the band Duchess, sing together on the opening and closing songs, parallel odes to the beast that is fear.“

The lead single, “They Keep Trying To Find You,” is available now, accompanied by a video directed and choreographed by Abi Elliott (watch below). Co-produced by Jim Marlowe and Oldham, the album arrives during a time of global transition. Rather than succumbing to the “diminishing horizon” of the modern world, We Are Together Again posits that community and the “stubborn joy” of collective art are acts of defiance.

It is a record that doesn’t seek to solve the world’s anxieties but meets them head-on with harmony. For Oldham, the act of voices rising together is, in itself, the definition of hope.
