Will Oldham Readies New Single, Audiobook

Back in 2005, Will Oldham, in his Bonnie "Prince" Billy guise, got together with Chavez frontman/guitarist-to-the-stars Matt Sweeney to release the great Superwolf album. On April 19 in the U.S. and April 18 in the UK, the two will reunite to drop a new single, "Must Be Blind" b/w "Life in Muscle", on Drag City in the U.S. and Domino in the UK.

Oldham also has another very different release coming out on Drag City. On June 21, the label will re-press Slow Fade, a 1984 novel by Rudolph Wurlitzer. But before they book comes out, on April 19, the label will release it as an audiobook read by Oldham and a friend of his, High Fidelity/Grosse Point Blank screenwriter D.V. deVincentis. Oldham reads the main story, while deVincentis reads the story within the story.
Next month, Oldham will take the audiobook on the road, doing readings at a few East Coast dates. Avant garde guitarist Ben Chasny, otherwise known as Six Organs of Admittance, will provide musical accompaniment, while Magik Markers member Elisa Ambrogio will do an opening reading. We've got the dates below, as well as the video for the Superwolf song "I Gave You".
Oldham also appears in the latest season of the comedy web TV show "The Internet Shack". Watch the first episode here.
