  Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and Matt Sweeney (who I knew from Zwan) come together is this gorgeous intimate album. "My home is the sea" brings redemption, "Blood Embrace" sucks you into darkness. I sang and played the bass lines on guitar of 'Blood Embrace' in front of my classmates with my friend Ian on guitar.

  The chemistry between Matt Sweeney and Will Oldham gives the album its strange, compelling energy. Sweeney’s heavy, bluesy guitar playing pushes Oldham into unusually direct and physical territory, especially on tracks like “Beast for Thee.” The songs feel intimate but never fragile. There’s humor, menace, tenderness, and awkwardness constantly shifting inside the arrangements. Oldham’s vocals remain emotionally unpredictable in the best way. The album sounds loose and instinctive without ever feeling underwritten.
