Yes, Bonnie Prince Billy’s latest releases, Beware and his Among the Gold collaboration with Chyenne Mize, are excellent. But Bachelorette’s My Electric Family (The Deicbel Tolls review) is next level shit. This is your heads-up to arrive early to the show tonight at The Red Mile in Lexington. Doors are at 9 p.m. Get there at exactly that time, render your $12, and have Annabelle Alpers destroy your brain for 45 minutes (show info).
Congrats to Alex for gripping the tickets in last week’s giveaway. Enjoy this video of “Intergalactic Solitude” from Isolation Loops in Brooklyn. Yay for mushrooms.
And man… I. Just. Can’t. Stop. Listening. To. “Instructions For Insomniacs.” Good gawd, ya’ll. Enjoy this too.

Bachelorette – Instructions For Insomniacs
Hometown weird beard Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy is swinging through the area Saturday, June 13th in support of Beware and Among the Gold, and I’ve got a pair of tickets to give away. Even more exciting is New Zealand native and Drag City representative Bachelorette opening up the show. I’m downright in love with Isolation Loops. Her latest, My Electric Family, just dropped last week, and something tells me you’re going to hear a lot more about this album in the near future.
Anyway, to enter the contest, send an e-mail to kb [at] thedecibeltolls (dot) com with your answer to this question: seeing as Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy and Cheyenne Mize dug deep in the crates for some of their favorite duets, what song or songs from the early 20th century would you cover? The lady or gent with the most awesome answer will claim the pair of tickets. I plan to pick the winner over the weekend, so if you want to participate, get your answer in by Friday at 5 p.m. EST. Good luck!

Bachelorette – Doo Wop
Bachelorette – The End of Things
My editor at LEO Weekly runs the label Karate Body Records, and they’re getting ready to drop a gorgeous vinyl 10″ by Bonnie Prince Billy called Among the Gold. Though fresh off the Beware publicity storm, the prolific and mercurial Oldham is never one to stay idle for too long. The six-song release is a collaboration with Cheyenne Mize of adventurous Louisville folk collective Arnett Hollow – and it’s an authentic historical jaunt.
Oldham and Mize dust off some antique torch ballads, dirges, and steamboat folk written between 1873 and 1915, and claim them all as their own. Though the music is undeniably the touch of Oldham, the melody and intimacy of old American standards and duets is perfectly preserved and documented with delicate prowess.
This is a limited edition record, so if you want one, head over to KBR pretty soon to grip your pre-order.

Bonnie Prince Billy & Cheyenne Mize – Beautiful Dreamer
There’s nothing I love more than a good old fashioned murder ballad. Maybe it’s the juicy juxtaposition of the details of a grisly crime uttered sotto voce style over a plaintive dirge. Or maybe I’m just sick. But this isn’t about me. This week TDB brings you modern day murder ballads from some of today’s hottest new artists! You get hangings, stabbings, scorned lovers and much much more. This very special collection is only available through TDB and is not sold in any stores.
