Bonnie 'Prince' Billy has a spanking eight song EP called 'Ask Forgiveness'. This is further evidence that this man is a diamond in the rough. I struggle to think of anyone with as much soul, passion and talent for songwriting. What can you say? It just pours out of his heart and hits you every time. This EP is a collaboration with Meg Baird and Greg Weeks from Espers. It's like they were born to play together. Oldham's vocal lends itself perfectly to the folk tinged acoustic bliss. A record bursting with emotion. LP and CD on Domino.

The record was recorded with Meg Baird and Greg Weeks from the band Espers in Philadelphia.As with all Bonnie releases, this will prove popular amongst his rabid fanbase, as well as being so beautifully played and recorded that it will easily open itself out to the more casual listener.
