Epic Jammers and Fortunate Little Ditties

Editors’ Notes New age revival trio Bitchin Bajas and singer/songwriter Bonnie "Prince" Billy (a.k.a. Will Oldham) get their minimalist drone on during a loose and tranquil collaboration inspired by fortune-cookie wisdom. Flutes, keyboards, simple acoustic guitar lines, and billowing backing vocals accompany Oldham's warbling tenor, while clichés like "Your hard work is about to pay off" acquire increasing profundity after several minutes' repetition. Caution: Tracks like "Your Whole Family Are Well" and "Nature Makes Us for Ourselves" may induce uncommonly relaxing trance states.
