Men selv om det har rukket å gå åtte år siden forrige gang Bonnie "Prince" Billy ga ut eget materiale, så har det ikke stått på produktiviteten.

–What else is a person to do except what he knows and feels, which for me is making records built out of songs intended for the intimate listening experiences of wonderful strangers who share something spiritually and musically?

I disse årene har han blant annet gitt ut album med tidligere innspilte låter av Susanna Wallumrød og en samarbeidsskive med Bitchin Bajas! 15. november kommer "I Made a place", det første originale Bonny-albumet siden "Wolfrey Goes To Town" fra 2011.

Videoen til singelen (At The) Back Of The Pit er regissert av high-school eleven Jacob Forman.

Ting skjer ofte påvirket av årsaker utenfor vår kontroll. De skjer plutselig, eller sakte men sikkert - men de skjer alltid en dag av gangen, dag etter dag. 

–In recent years, the whole world of recorded music, in the way that such music is conceived, perceived, recorded, released and distributed, has been atomized. I tried holding my breath, waiting for the storm to pass, but this storm is here to stay and its devastation is our new landscape. What else is a person to do except what he knows and feels, which for me is making records built out of songs intended for the intimate listening experiences of wonderful strangers who share something spiritually and musically? I started working on these songs thinking that there was no way I was going to finish them and record and release them. This was a constructive frame-of-mind that protected the songs until this frightening moment when we let go of them and give them to you."
