Bonnie “Prince” Billy

They Keep Trying
To Find You

The first song from We Are Together Again, Will Oldham’s follow-up to The Purple Bird, made at End of an Ear Studios in his hometown of Louisville and co-produced with Jim Marlowe. Oldham has called the new songs odes to fear; around them the record keeps returning to company and to carrying on. In the film, directed and choreographed by Abi Elliott, Oldham and Elliott share the screen with a monster – Megan Adair, in a costume Elliott made.

Produced by Will Oldham and Jim Marlowe; engineered by Jim Marlowe at End of an Ear, Louisville. With Jacob Duncan, Thomas Deakin, Ryder McNair, Chris Bush, Ned Oldham and Erin Hill.
