Drag City
2xLP
This is the kind of #pandemicalbum we can all get behind. So many of the albums recorded in the past 24 months (in basements, bedrooms, closets maybe) have been (understandably) dour, concerned with the state of things. In a refreshing twist, Bill and Billy are primarily concerned with what songs they can get each other to sing. The impetus for the album came from wanting to hear what the listed songs would sound like covered by one of the two, and rapidly expanded into a sprawling, wacky collaboration with their closest musical friends. The result is an album as apart from the typical #pandemicalbum as could be. Instead, it's a roaring good time, a shindig where the music's too good to pay attention to the block outside.
