Bonnie Prince Billy is an American singer-songwriter and actor, born on December 24, 1970 in Louisville, Kentucky. With a career spanning over decades, he has become known for his unique blend of folk, country, and indie rock music.His soulful lyrics and haunting melodies have captivated audiences around the world. Bonnie Prince Billy's discography includes numerous critically acclaimed albums such as "I See a Darkness" and "Ease Down the Road".In addition to his musical talents, Bonnie Prince Billy has also dabbled in acting. He has appeared in films such as "Old Joy" and "The Guilty". His diverse artistic pursuits showcase his versatility and passion for storytelling.

Domino is an independent label founded in Putney, South West London by *a694357* and his partner Jacqui Rice in 1993. The label initially focused on American acts such as *Sebadoh*, *Pavement* or *Royal Trux* before signing British acts in the late '90s.

The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The company operating the label, *Warp Records*, diversified, establishing a publishing arm and a series of labels (*Double Six Recordings*, *Weird World Record Co.*, *Rephlex*, ...).

Beware from 2009 is one of the more playful entries in the Bonnie Prince Billy canon. It's also one of his fullest sounding records. the songs shift between light and dark, between personal revelation and emotional suffocation, never settling. The opening Beware Your Only Friend, from which the album title is contracted, sets the scene, buoyed by a range of instrumentation - crying pedal steel, fiddle, saxophone, a choir of swooning backing singers - that supplements Oldham's sweet, arch vocals. despite the intimation of foreboding contained within songs whose titles include I Am Goodbye and Death Final, the album is, for the most part, resolutely joyful.
