About the album

Will Oldham has recorded under a dozen names since the early 1990s, from the Palace Brothers onward, but since 1998 most of his work has gone out as Bonnie "Prince" Billy. The Louisville songwriter has always been at his best in a room, close enough to hear the floorboards, and Ghosts Of American Psychonauts catches him in exactly that setting.

He played Pico Union in Los Angeles on February 14, 2025, and the set moves from "Sometimes It's Hard To Breathe" and "Shorty's Ark" through "London May" and "Trees Of Hell" to a closing "I See A Darkness." It is a quietly devastating way to spend a Valentine's evening, and, we would argue, considerably better value than a set menu.
