Between 2003 and 2011, Will Oldham signed off on a run of seven albums under the Bonnie “Prince” Billy guise for Chicago’s Drag City; since then, almost the same amount of time has passed without one.
That’s going to change soon: the songwriter has announced I Made a Place, a new collection of originals co-released by the label and his own Palace Records. The LP will be out on November 15, and is now ushered in by a single called “At the Back of the Pit.”

If it weren’t for the film’s IMDb page and a single teaser clip posted to YouTube, it’d be easy to mistake Days of the Bagnold Summer for another proper full-length entry in Belle and Sebastian’s discography. Even the monochrome, vacant-eyed portraiture on its sleeve fits uniformly into the Scottish band’s catalogue, while the forthcoming indie flick’s synopsis reads like one of the short stories frontman Stuart Murdoch slips into his liner notes.

As Bob Dylan would probably say if he were alive today, “the times, they are a-changin” “it’s been a minute” since FKA twigs hit us with “Cellophane,” her first new song since 2016, and the first hint of new “major” work nearing completion since 2015’s M3LL155X EP.

The child’s face, converted by a few strokes, had vanished but in the notched teeth and gaping orbits, large enough to hold a car, we could still see an echo of its infant features. The spectre moved past us, the spectators frowning at this weeping skull whose rain fell upon their faces.

In case you missed it, Everybody Works was the brilliant and tender 2017 breakthrough for Jay Som. It traversed a bevy of genres and moods, putting Melina Mae Duterte’s songwriting, arrangement, performance, and production talents on display. This made for a dynamic if slightly scattershot album. It showed a wide palette (and some serious jams), but it left me hungry for a more unified work.
