Prince Billy Album / Eats Shrooms

Bonnie "Prince" Billy Announces Lie Down in the Light, Eats Shrooms and Gets Heavy

Bonnie "Prince" Billy (aka Will Oldham) is set to release Lie Down in the Light on May 20 through Drag City. The album will feature Emmett Kelley, Shahzad Izmaily, Ashley Webber and Paul Oldham. The good Prince will tour Europe in June and July.

Following his 2006 album The Letting Go, Oldham has been seen doing stand-up comedy in Chicago, he released the Ask Forgiveness cover album featuring songs from Bjork, Danzig, Thom Yorke, and R. Kelly amongst others, took a lead role in the film Old Joy, and got down in Zach Galifianakis' video for Kanye West's "Can't Tell Me Nothing."

While the prolific Prince's efforts are all interesting, we think you might enjoy checking out his recent magic mushroom experience with film maker Caveh Zahedi. Check out Oldham tripping out and getting deep right here:

Lie Down in the Light track list:
1. Easy Does It
2. You Remind Me of Something (The Glory Goes)
3. So Everyone
4. For Every Field There's a Mole
5. (Keep Eye On) Other's Gain
6. You Want That Picture
7. Missing One
8. What's Missing Is
9. Where's the Puzzle?
10. Lie Down in the Light
11. Willow Trees Bend
12. I'll Be Glad

And finally, we realize that the song below, "Williamsburg Will Oldham Horror" by Jeffrey Lewis is not an actual Oldham song, but we think the weirdo in you will dig it. If you haven't heard this shit, check it out...

Will Oldham is a genius. Anyone who doesn't own I See A Darkness or Ease on Down the Road is seriously missing out. One of the most prolific artists of our time and incredible in all his incarnations (Palace, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Will Oldham, etc.). Also one helluva nice guy. Just one more reason why Louisville, KY is one of the coolest cities in the country.

This guy is great. Underrated as any solo artist in music today.

I'm stoked for this new album. This guy rocks.

Furthermore, I enjoyed the dude putting grass on his head in the video. Psilocybin is not the devil, unlike LSD.
