Will Oldham is an American singer-songwriter who has recorded under many names (Palace Music, Palace Brothers, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, among others). He is known for sparse, intimate recordings that blend folk, country and Americana.

Arise Therefore was recorded by Steve Albini and released by Drag City in Chicago in 1996. Will Oldham records and performs under multiple monikers and is associated with lo-fi, intimate alt-country and folk songwriting.

The review praises Will Oldham's intimate, diary-like songwriting and sparse arrangements on Arise Therefore. It notes the many names he records under and the album's recording by Steve Albini for Drag City (1996). The writing highlights the record's roots in country/American tradition filtered through personal suffering.

For:Fans of introspective folk, alt-country and lo-fi singer-songwriters; listeners of Will Oldham / Bonnie "Prince" Billy.

 A single face for many names, like all the half-baked egocentrics who first chatter about themselves and then regret it.
