Bone Almanac

On November 8, 2019, Philip B. Price ' lead singer/songwriter of acclaimed Winterpills ' will release Bone Almanac on Signature Sounds, his first solo outing since 2004. Philip went into the studio in April of 2018 with Justin Pizzoferrato (Pixies, Sebadoh, Kim Gordon), 5 weirdly tuned acoustic guitars, a book full of dark, spare, apocalyptic songs, and little else. The naked-yet-layered sound that emerged is like nothing he or Winterpills has ever done before. While addressing very modern dreads (environmental devastation, for one), Bone Almanac would also sit nicely on a shelf next to John Fahey, Nick Drake, Gene Clark, Bill Callahan, John Renbourn and Joni Mitchell. 'I don't wanna call this my 'climate change emergency' album, ' Price says, 'because I'm pretty sure there will be more of those. Maybe call it volume one.' Price's well-worn pop sensibility, honeyed voice and spidery guitar work makes it all go down a with bittersweet warmth.
