BONNIE PRINCE BILLY AND MATT SWEENEY - Superwolf LP
ROUGH TRADE (WIGLP240)
Bonnie challenged Matt to write music to a series of song lyrics, and this collaboration was done over some months, and included live shows in London, New Orleans, Brooklyn, and Baltimore. The two retired to Paul Oldham's Rove Studios to lay the songs down. They enlisted the help of drummer Peter Townsend, and vocalist Sue Schofield dropped in for a brief cameo. Superwolf is a pure, true collaboration between Matt Sweeney (music) and Bonnie "Prince" Billy (words). Matt and Bonnie have been playing together for years, making Superwolf a long-gestating and deeply-felt release. Superwolf package features artwork by Spencer Sweeney!
