Entertainment + Music

Best known as the lead singer and songwriter behind the acclaimed melancholic folk/pop band Winterpills, Philip B. Price celebrates the release of Bone Almanac, out October 11th 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 nor Winterpills has ever done before. While addressing very modern dreads (environmental devastation, for one), Bone Almanac would also sit warmly on a shelf next to John Fahey, Nick Drake, Gene Clark, 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."
