Watch: Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy – I See A Darkness

New video for a new recording

Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy has posted a brand new video for a fresh recording of ‘I See A Darkness’.

A truly wonderful, majestic songwriter, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy’s output is so vast that it can be an intimidating experience for newcomers. Upcoming EP ‘Now Here’s My Plan’ could be a good starting point, with the songwriter choosing to re-visit prominent moments from his own catalogue.

Recorded with Steve Albini, one of the highlights of the new EP is a rendition of ‘I See A Darkness’. Perhaps Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy’s best known effort, the re-recording comes equipped with a brand new video.

Watch it below.
