The ever-enigmatic Bonnie "Prince" Billy returns with Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You, a 2023 release that showcases Will Oldham’s unmistakable voice and poetic depth. Recorded in Kentucky and steeped in the artist’s unique blend of rock, folk, and country, this album brims with both vulnerability and quiet resilience, offering listeners a glimpse into stories shaped by love, loss, and hope.
With contributions from talented musicians such as Sara Louise Callaway and Kendall Carter, Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You explores intricate themes with mesmerizing instrumentation, from the urgent interplay of mandolin and violin to moments of gentle, melodic clarity. The evocative cover photography — a cafeteria in Yan'an, China, and Bonny at Big Sur — further situates the album in a world both intimate and expansive, making it a resonant addition to any Bonnie "Prince" Billy collection.
