Sir Richard Bishop releases Hillbilly Erotica

Sir Richard Bishop's new album, Hillbilly Erotica, is out now via Drag City. The eight-track record dropped July 31, 2026.

Bishop is a longtime guitarist known for his solo work and as a member of Sun City Girls. The title poses a contradiction, and the cover plays with country signifiers twisted through his knotty, improvisational style.

The album is available through Drag City, another addition to a catalog that has kept Bishop restless and hard to pin down. The label copy leans into the title's cheek, offering no easy summary of the music.
