Bonnie Prince Billy: Lie Down in the Light

I know, I know – another one. Bonnie Prince Billy seems to be making a CD every two months.  What’s different about Lie Down in the Light? There’s a warmth and a lushness in the arrangements that means the word ‘skeletal’ needn’t appear in this review. There’s a relaxed and comfortable voice that means this reviewer needn’t consult a thesaurus to avoid the word ‘squawk’. And there are enough epiphanies and affirmations in the lyric sheet to make quoting them less like paraphrasing Sartre. What’s the same about it? It’s lovely.
