Billy Nomates
Metalhorse
INVADA
Embracing the alluring imagery of the funfare, Billy Nomates has added a full band and a silky smooth soul-pop sensibility to her already heaving armoury on album number three.
It might seem a contradiction, but these additions both compliment and neatly juxtapose the driving lo-fi indie anthems that she's made her calling card, creating a compelling and enthralling record that gallops along like a true champ. Giddy up! The songs on Billy Nomates’ third studio release explore blues, folk, and piano-driven arrangements that take Billy Nomates’ stark punk sound in a more pastoral direction. A concept album revolving around the image of a dilapidated funfair, representing the tumultuousness of life—risk and pleasure, danger and exhilaration. 'Metalhorse' is the first Billy Nomates album to be made in a studio and with a full band, the lineup including bass player, Mandy Clarke (KT Tunstall, The Go! Team) and drummer, Liam Chapman (Rozi Plain, BMX Bandits), plus a special feature from The Stranglers frontman, Hugh Cornwell, on "Dark Horse Friend."
'Metalhorse' is a balancing of extremes. Reckoning with loss, material insecurity, and trying to stay true to yourself against an increasingly unpredictable backdrop of global chaos, the scales could easily have tipped towards darkness. But the more Maries has had to weather, the more precious those smaller moments of happiness have become. 'Metalhorse' begs the listener to find their own funfair; there will always be things that feel perilous. At the same time, you have to marvel at the lights while they’re still on. Dancing with those feelings of uncertainty and joy, 'Metalhorse' is awash with both pain and perseverance.
