Default Bonnie Prince Billy & Tortoise "The Brave and The Bold"


Anyone heard this album?

If you're a fan of either alt-folk artist Will Oldham (BPB) or post rock band Tortoise, then this is a really interesting album (good way or bad way), because it sounds nothing like either of the two, or even a combination of the two. Bonnie Prince Billy's done a lot of good collabo's, particular Superwolf with Matt Sweeney in '05.

Not to mention...it's a cover album. For instance, Bruce Springsteen's "Thunder Road" and Lungfish's "Love is Love" hit hard. Minutemen's "It's Expected I'm Gone" is followed by Elton John's "Daniel".

I'm not sure if the two mix well or at all. Rating: Weird/10.
