Bill Callahan returns with “Stepping Out for Air,” the final preview of his upcoming album. Originally conceived 15 years ago for a project with Jim White and Warren Ellis, the track finally finds its home amidst “Zoloft pines” on My Days of 58. Catch him on his UK solo instore tour starting February 23rd.

Bill Callahan arrives with the new single, “Lonely City,” from his upcoming album, My Days of 58. A profound meditation on the familiar, ever-changing relationship we have with our cities. The stunning music video showcases over 15 years of photography by street photographer Daniel Arnold.

Bill Callahan announces My Days of 58, his eighth album and shares lead single, “The Man I’m Supposed To Be”. He applies the “living, breathing energies” of his live shows to the studio, sharpening his “slice-of-life portraiture”. The album, featuring his core touring band, embraces unpredictability, with Callahan describing it as a “‘living room record'” in attitude and vibe, “not too loud, not otherworldly”.

Recorded during last year’s 4-night residency at London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts, Bill Callahan has released ‘What a Night!’, a live digital 12-track album. Accompanied by Jim White on drums, watch the live video for Cowboy, which is completely unlike the studio version on 2020’s ‘Gold Record’. Bill Callahan’s UK/EU Tour kicks off today.

Bill Callahan shares a new visualiser for ‘Coyotes (Live)’ – “I was looking for footage that was neither here nor there. Not of the earth or the cosmos. Somewhere between, which I think a lot of life hangs in places like that.”

Exploratory and constantly changing, Bill Callahan’s ‘Resuscitate!’ is serious music that doesn’t take itself too seriously. His songwriting has a message and truth. It’s Big, and it’s Clever. He’s Leonard Cohen with Paul Auster’s self-knowing postmodernism and Johnny Cash’s charred heart.

Bill Callahan announces the release of ‘Resuscitate!’, a live album recorded at Chicago’s Thalia Hall in 2022. Bill will be visiting the UK and Europe later this year, including a 4-night solo residency at London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts.

Ten months ago, Bill Callahan released YTI​⅃​A​Ǝ​Я on Drag City Records and he has just released his first music video for the album – Last One At The Party – the video shows us a man way out there on an island of his own that sits right at the heart of humanity. 

Australian musician Gena Rose Bruce has shared a moving video for Deep is the Way, directed by Alex Badham, a student of the legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog. The song features Bill Callahan who co-wrote the duet.

Not everything is as it seems on Bill Callahan’s YTILAER; it will surprise, challenge and delight you, but the overwhelming feeling is one of allowing the senses to open and let life flow in. In short, another masterpiece.

Taken from his forthcoming largely collaborative album Voids, watch Old Fire’s (John Mark Lapham) ‘Don’t You Go’, a John Martyn cover featuring Bill Callahan that paints a noirish mural of Lapham’s hometown state.
