Lie Down in the Light

Product Description 2008 album, the follow up to the Letting Go, on Lie Down in the Light, Will Oldham decided to go back to where he recorded Master And Everyone and the results couldn't be better. The album arrives with a faster pace than usual Bonnie releases then settles into a low key groove. The song quality matches any of his releases and the recording is classic Mark Nevers. Since the release of the Letting Go, Oldham has been working heavily in the film and music industries. He's starred in two films, released a covers EP and worked on records by Holly Throsby and Sun Kil Moon. This record is not being released digitally to protect it from being leaked and help record store sales. Tienda Will Oldham has built a reputation as a singer-songwriter who taps into a bleak folk tradition as old as America, so the sound of Lie Down In The Light, his sixth studio album under the still confusing pseudonym Bonnie 'Prince' Billy comes as something of a surprise. Whichever way you look at it, this is an upbeat, uplifting record, almost sunny in outlook. Dedicated fans might not prefer him this way (many consider his first record under the name Palace Brothers, the timeless, stricken There Is No One What Will Take Care Of You to be definitive), Lie Down In The Light is undeniably charming and rather witty with it. Take the unexpected clarinet that turns the conclusion of the already rather daft "For Every Field There’s A Mole" into something as light as a silent movie soundtrack, or the way that the otherwise saturnine "Where Is The Puzzle?" remains unresolved. Ashley Webber, once of Canadian new wavers The Organ, duets but even her mournful contributions can’t deflect from Mark Nevers’ skillful production. Only the title track, following an often used Oldham chord change, really sounds generic. Oldham obviously remains set on creating a determinedly solid body of work, but the odd soufflé, such as Lie Down In The Light, doesn’t come amiss.-- Steve Jelbert
