Our Take

Bonnie Prince Billy, the enigmatic folk troubadour who seems to have more pseudonyms than Taylor Swift has ex-boyfriends, has returned with his latest offering "Wolf of the Cosmos." From the very first track, it's clear that Billy is not content to rest on his laurels.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Traveling in the Circles," a song that showcases Billy's trademark quivering vocals and poetic lyrics. It's a moody, atmospheric track that sets the tone for the rest of the album.

As we delve deeper into "Wolf of the Cosmos," we are treated to a diverse range of musical styles, from the stripped-back acoustic balladry of "Blueberry Jam" to the rollicking country-inflected "The Beast's Mask." Billy's songwriting is as strong as ever, with each track telling a story that draws the listener in.

However, there are moments where the album slightly veers off course. The experimental electronic sounds of "Flaws" feel out of place amongst the rest of the folk-infused tracks, and disrupt the overall flow of the album.

Despite this minor misstep, "Wolf of the Cosmos" is another solid addition to Bonnie Prince Billy's already impressive discography. It showcases Billy's continued evolution as an artist, while still staying true to the unique sound that has made him such a beloved figure in the world of indie folk music. Overall, this album is a triumph for Bonnie Prince Billy and a must-listen for any fan of his work.
