Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Bryce Dessner and Eighth Blackbird share new version of "One With The Birds"
Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Bryce Dessner of The National, and classical outfit Eighth Blackbird have revealed a new version of "One With The Birds".
"One With The Birds" is the second offering to be shared from their forthcoming collaborative album When We Are Inhuman, after June's take on Bonnie "Prince" Billy's "Beast For Thee".
Their latest offering is a new version of Bonnie "Prince" Billy's track taken from his 1998 EP Blue Lotus Feet.
According to Stereogum, the new version was arranged by Eighth Blackbird pianist Lisa Kaplan, who says it's "very different from the original." Kaplan adds, "We used the birdcalls of all the different birds named in the song, and the extended piano intro was inspired by my friend Thomas Bartlett whom I had seen perform with the Gloaming just before making this arrangement."
When We Are Inhuman will see Eighth Blackbird rework some of Bonnie "Prince" Billy's songs, some of Dessner's "Murder Ballades" workings from Eighth Blackbird's Filament record, and a live version of "Stay on It" by Julius Eastman
