Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Chijimi
Will Oldham (aka, Bonnie "Prince" Billy) releases material faster than his beard can grow and his hairline can recede. His latest is yet another low-key recording which showcases his ability as a songwriter as well as his passion for Americana. Acoustic and slide guitars, violins, and vocals (both his as well as an accompanying female) are about all that is offered up here on the 4-song EP Chijimi. This simpleness is suited perfectly for Oldham's somber lyrics and mild voice. In contrast to the slow and aged feel of this release, the video for "How About Thank You" (opening track on Chijimi) has two heated DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) counterparts going at it for the ultimate prize (at least to them).
