Bill Callahan releasing new album, Ytilaer

“It felt like it was necessary to rouse people — rouse their love, their kindness, their anger, rouse anything in them.”

Bill Callahan is releasing a new album, called Ytilaer, via Drag City this October.

Callahan notes that the album, which is one hour long, is designed to be listened to in a single sitting.

“I wanted to make a record that addressed or reflected the current climate. It felt like it was necessary to rouse people — rouse their love, their kindness, their anger, rouse anything in them,” he shares.

“We needed a better anger. To get out of this hypnagogic state.”
