Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You (CD)
Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Amoeba Review
Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You is the unbelievably gorgeous, intimate, and impressive new album from Bonnie "Prince" Billy. The songs feel lived-in and cozy yet raw and sometimes quietly overwhelming, their effect amplified by the vulnerability with which the songwriter faces down our tumultuous times. The compositions are gentle and immersive, with elements of country and folk adding warmth, and flamenco flourishes and sweeping violin adding emotional depth. Keeping Secrets looks head-on at all the bad stuff in our world and finds the beauty, transcendence, and hope to keep going. This is essential Bonnie "Prince" Billy.
