Bonnie āPrinceā Billy, Nathan Salsburg & Tyler Trotter ā Hear the Children Sing the Evidence (No Quarter)
How can you make two strangely transcendent songs originally written and recorded by Lungfish even more metaphysically oblique? Apparently, you set Will Oldham (appearing here under his long-standing Bonnie āPrinceā Billy appellation), Nathan Salsburg and Tyler Trotter to work, with few limitations on studio time. The two album-side-long covers ā of āHear the Children Singā from Lungfishās Love Is Love (2003), and of āThe Evidenceā from Pass and Stow (1994) ā find a weirding place, somewhere between transfixing and trance-like. The effect is more magical and peculiar than any of those adjectives can suggest.

Every Record I Own - Day 558: Daniel Higgs Say God
Art is taking something in your head and putting it in someone elseās head.
When we criticize art, weāre criticizing the artistās ability to transfer that idea from their head into another personās head, though there is no artistry in telling a tired joke and no artistry in telling a predictable story. To uniformly convey an idea to any given individual is to aim for the lowest common denominator. Thus, every artist is faced with the dilemma of selecting their audience, because if what you have to say resonates with every human being on the planet, itās likely not particularly profound. Conversely, if your idea doesnāt resonate with anyone, youāve failed at artās prime objective.
Weāve surrounded ourselves with music to the point where a lot of it is rendered inert. You can play a minor key melody on a violin and everyone will know youāre sad, but people wonāt actually feel sad listening to it. So at least part of the artistry of music involves using contextual sonic shorthands (say, the inherent moods in an acoustic guitar versus a dimed-out full stack-backed guitar) while also toying with expectations, introducing new elements, pairing dissimilar attributes, and other variations of employing and subverting traditions.Ā Ā
And this is why we have such specific tastes and why we will likely never have mega-stars on the scale of past legends. Our needs and wants are different. Beyond that, our utility of music is enormously varied. You wonāt want to listen to some narrative-driven hip-hop while reading a novel and you wonāt want to listen to some super heady experimental music at a crowded noisy party. One of my big gripes with contemporary music criticism is that it rarely addresses how suited the intended utility of the music is towards the reviewer. We operate under the assumption that the reviewer is knowledgeable, open-minded, and pre-disposed to wrangling enjoyment out of their subject. Weāre also supposed to assume that the writer has listened attentively and is in a receptive state. And we are meant to assume that if the reviewer doesnāt like their subject, then it had nothing to do with their own shortcomings as a listener and everything to do with the artistās capabilities.Ā
Dan Higgsā solo work isnāt for everyone. It isnāt even for most people. Itās intended for a very small audience, and even that select crowd probably doesnāt want to listen to Say God in most situations. I like Higgs and I like Say God, but I certainly donāt feel like listening to it today as I sit in my backyard in the sun. Say God is like a church service from some parallel dimension. Higgs sings modest, rudimentary cosmic hymns between brief bouts of esoteric sermonizing. You donāt listen to it for catchy songs or zoned-out soundscapes. You listen to it almost like a guided meditation. And while itās hard to pinpoint a time when I want to sit through an hour-and-a-half long whacked-out spiritual ritual, I love that Higgs wanted to tap into the Holy Spirit vibe with this strange recording. Itās like heās created this whole world and whole belief system, and heās just revealed a tiny fraction of it in this weird little document of void worship.Ā
Say God is a record with a very specific goal targeted at a very specific crowd. And honestly, I might be missing some point to the album. But I find it more interesting to try and crack the code behind Higgsā work rather than complain about how it isnāt perfectly tailored to my wants. Higgs is a riddler, and if you see through his cryptic oratory on first listen, then thatās a bigger failure than if youāre left scratching your head.
