Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy has released a surprise new single called “Blueberry Jam”.

The song was apparently inspired by some THC-laced chocolate covered blueberries given to Will Oldham and his wife to help them recover from the shock of a false ballistic missile alert, issued when they were living on the rim of the active volcano Kilauea, in Hawaii. It features regular Will Oldham collaborators Matt Sweeney and Peter Townsend.
