simple_torture Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Release Date 4/28/15 (pre-orders ship 4/14): http://shop.temporaryresidence.com/trr253 THIS IS A PRE-ORDER! ALL ITEMS WILL SHIP ON OR AROUND APRIL 14, 2015! Bonnie Stillwatter is a conceptual collaboration of artistry and friendship between Will Oldham (aka Bonnie 'Prince' Billy), experimental rock group Watter(featuring a member of Grails), and Stillwater Artisanal, a nomadic brewer that mixes equal parts art and alcohol. This collaboration is an inspired one, the roots of which are a mutual respect and love, and the fruits of which are two side-long trips into dark cinematic folk-rock determined to find the light at the end of the tunnel. "The Devil Is People" begins not unlike the east-meets-west melancholy of Watter and Grails. Oldham's penchant for weaving singer with song is particularly resonant here; his first-person storytelling has an uncanny way of sounding communal – almost hymnal – when wrapped in ever-unfolding layers of warm sound. On the b-side, mercurial multi-instrumentalist/producer Bundy K. Brown (Tortoise, Gastr del Sol) explodes "The Devil Is People", rearranging and reinterpreting its multitude of instruments and voices into something more sinister – less a remix, more like a vital new limb growing from the belly of the beast. Three color variants available! suchashorttime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack8urt0n Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I'd love to hear something before pulling the trigger on this one. But it does sound like it could be awesome, and I dig the package design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvismcvegas Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 its a 15$ for a 12" with 1 song and a remix b-side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchashorttime Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 its a 15$ for a 12" with 1 song and a remix b-side. Not very flippable. Better reconsider. 74R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aphasias Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Temporary Residence is usually so reasonably priced with their LPs that I'm surprised a 12" single is so pricey. The track is decent. Not fantastic. jack8urt0n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgePeluso Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Why is this a 12"? Guess the remix is a long track? Shipping is way too much for two of the same track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Shivers Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 UGH. My dumb ass is just now grasping the fact that this is a two track 12", with one of the tracks being a remix no less. This will teach me to look before I leap. I totally thought this was going to be a LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will teach me to look before I leap. I totally thought this was going to be a LP. I did the exact same thing last week. I was kicking myself when I went back and read the description.

monsterrod Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Ordered the orange, got the blue. No big deal but I've got a serious case of the buyer's remorse with this one. I'm listening to it now, probably won't listen to it much more after this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm listening to it now, probably won't listen to it much more after this. Often times, my least favorite Bonnie releases have grown on me. Give it time if you're willing.

Prestonlanes Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I dig the track. Hope to see more from this collaboration in the future. They are doing a pub crawl on Saturday for the release of this and the related beer. I'll probably go to one of the early performances.https://www.facebook.com/events/666985226778919/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably show up a couple hours early and sample that beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prestonlanes Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Was thinking the one. I never turn down an excuse for an early beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prestonlanes Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I've opted for the Coopers show in Chelsea. Just had too much to do today to get to the East Village by 4:30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
