Will Oldham’s wobbly voice and hill-country cadence give all his songs a similar sound, but the individual Oldham albums—whether recorded under the moniker Bonnie “Prince” Billy or something else entirely—tend to have their own unique characters. Last year’s Lie Down In The Light found Oldham in a hushed, reflective mood, contemplating the changing of the seasons and the constancy of certain spiritual anchors. The new Bonnie Billy record, Beware, is fuller in every sense of the word, from the choir of background singers answering Oldham on the opening track (“Beware Your Only Friend”) to the way Oldham stops that song cold for a muted interlude. Beware’s song structures are more open, its mood more playful. It’s the kind of album where an instrumental break marrying marimbas to steel guitars doesn’t feel out of place.
