From Beware‘s “You Can’t Hurt Me Now” to his take on Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens’ “One Day At A time” (thanks, Reid), there’s been plenty Bonnie “Prince” Billy news as of late. Now, Ohio musician/artist Brian Harnetty‘s collaborated with Oldham on Silent City. The video for their spare, spacious “Sleeping In The Driveway”‘s quietly beautiful: A patient camera guides us through fields and the interior of a house, past silos, blues skies, fall leaves, and stop signs to an old man wandering St. Patrick’s Cemetery, rural America. Press pause and you have yourself a postcard.

Silent City is out in June via Atavistic.

How to make a video for 30 cents in a struggling economy by Bonnie “Artist Formerly Known as Prince” Billy.
did they shoot this using his cell phone video camera?
Hey that song goes somewhere really nice.
Ever since he left the “Palace” scene, he’s become more and more like Robert Pollard, eg. throw a bunch of stuff against the wall and see if it sticks. maybe 10% of it does.
listen harder.
Is anybody else unreasonably annoyed by the quotations marks in Bonnie “Prince” Billy?
I like that song a lot.
harnetty. why????????
i could name 5,235 better for this project.
billy is a jerk.
you can hear his conceit in his billy mouth.
1- this is not a bonnie prince billy project, he is just a guest collaborator.
2- the quotation marks are inspired by nat ”king” cole
