Bonnie Prince Billy and The Cairo Gang - The Wonder Show of the World

Review by Mark Ward

There are ten fine new songs here, each beautiful and sorrowful, sparse and complex, sacred and profane: this is what to expect from a new record by Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy.»

for this new album of songs, bonny billy and the cairo gang together have built a bridge forward, assembled with riffs and bits from emmett kelly's guitar and the lyricism of bonny's heart. but mostly, 'the wonder show of the world' was, in its making, about trust. it's a record made eye-to-eye in a room, close and careful, by and for a few men who wanted to be together, who wanted to make music that sounds as good to listen to as it did to make, and who in doing so forged something new in space, the wonder of you and of them.
