Released alongside W.W. Norton’s book, ‘Songs of Love and Horror’ witnesses Will Oldham shake off the personas of Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and Palace for the first time in decades. The singer-songwriter and alternative folk star prefers to embrace his own name this time round, offering twenty-five years of touching lyrical experiences in Norton’s book. The coinciding album is a brave and boundless foray into the art and skill of Oldham’s singer-songwriter sensibilities, with his ever unshakeable punk ethos still floating in the midst.
