Will Oldham, also known for his work as Bonnie “Prince” Billy, has announced a solo album titled Songs of Love and Horror. The album will be released on October 19, 2018 through Drag City. Beyond that information, details are sparse besides the fact that this record will consists of Oldham performing solo with just his voice and a guitar.

Songs of Love and Horror is a rare entry in the career of Will Oldham: an album, with the writer taking a turn as singer. As befits the nature of this project, the songs are sung and played by Will alone, in a setting enjoyed by fans of his music – that of one voice and one guitar, the better to savor the spare changes and starkly-cut lyrics, operating in quiet tension and ultimate collaboration! Out on 10/19 from Drag City, with special edition avail from @vinylmeplease as well.
