Once again, Bonnie “Prince” Billy can see a darkness. His new record We Are Together Again deals – as the accompanying announcement explains – with a “world with a diminishing horizon”, the result of human action which has reshaped the planet and pushed it towards collapse. But where Will Oldham has a long record for writing songs of desolation, this new collection sets out to face down fear and respond with the strength of friendship and community as a source of hope. The message is stark.
