Bonny Light Horseman, the trio of Anaïs Mitchell, Eric D Johnson and Josh Kaufman, will release their second album, Rolling Golden Holy, on October 7 (preorder on galaxy blue vinyl), and they've shared another song from it, the lovely, harmonious "Exile."
“The lyrics of this one, open-ended as they may be, are filled with primal and mythological fears—lion's dens, hurricanes, wild eyes and the deep dark," says Johnson. "Fears that are conquered by, naturally, love love love. But please, feel free to take what you want from this one, story-wise. And if nothing more, throw it on and do a slow-spin groove in front of your speakers.” Listen to "Exile" below.
The band have a few festival appearances this month and September, including Day 3 of NYC's The Big Climate Thing at Forest Hills Stadium on 9/18 (with The Roots, Haim, Princess Nokia and more) and have headline dates in October and December, including Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg on 12/14. They've expanded their December run, adding shows in Atlanta, Asheville, Durham, Cambridge, Burlington, Portland (ME), and more. All dates are listed below.
