Stream: Bonnie “Prince” Billy Covers Sufjan Stevens (24B Premiere) | TwentyFourBit)
Last fall, On Joyful Wings announced a Sufjan Stevens-approved covers album featuring new renditions of all the songs off Stevens’ brilliant 2004 LP Seven Swans by Bonnie “Prince” Billy, DM Stith, the Gregory Brothers (of Auto-Tune the News fame), Carl Hauck, Inlets, and eight others. Now the album, Seven Swans Reimagined, is available to pre-order on Bandcamp with all proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
Before the record arrives next Tuesday (pre-orders come with an immediate download of Inlets’ take on “Borderline” and a full album download a few days before the release), you can preview Bonnie “Prince” Billy’s gorgeous take on “All the Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands” with Meg Baird, Emmett Kelly, Ben Boye, Van Campbell, Sabrina Rush, and Danny Kiely below. Purchase the album/contribute to a great cause here and check out our exclusive stream, alongside a quote from Will Oldham on Seven Swans, after the jump.
