...according to our Brett on 17 April 2009.

The first installment in what appears to be the Young Widows series of split 7"s features Bonnie Prince Billy so they've obviously got a bit of pull going.. I didn't hear his last LP as it came when I wasn't in but apparently this sounds nothing like it, which is a shame as it's rather wonderful. Touching, soaring and earthy, it's like a man dropping to his knees in the bleakest winds of the Dust Bowl and praying for salvation. I've heard good things about Young Widows themselves and they do sound pretty cool, mining that old Jesus Lizard-y Touch and Go sound with style to spare. The bassline in particular has 'Seasick' written all over it. Probably the best split 7" I've heard in a while and there's Melt Banana and Pelican to come in the series apparently!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Features brand new unreleased tracks from YOUNG WIDOWS and BONNIE ‘PRINCE’ BILLY. Limited edition of 2,000 copies. Following on the heels of their breakthrough Old Wounds album, Young Widows have assembled an all-killer-no-filler split single series, featuring new, unreleased Young Widows jams, split up over four separate 7" singles, accompanied by a handful of their favorite friends and artists on the opposite sides of each single. Those artists include Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Melt-Banana, Pelican, and a final mystery artist to be named at a later date. All songs by all artists are brand new and exclusive to this series. Each single is strictly limited to a one-time pressing of 2,000 copies. The artwork for the four singles fits together to form one large, beautiful puzzled image. This first single in the series features Young Widows and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy.
