New Music Friday: Billy Nomates – CACTI

New Music Friday has brought the release of Billy Nomates’ CACTI album – stream it and check out Live4ever’s review below.

“If you do a search for Tor Maries’ alter ego, one of the suggested options is ‘Billy Nomates’ age’.”

“The term is an imperfect summarising of what being a female musician is, even though we’re post-Me Too and well into the twenties, and also proof that things which don’t matter still matter when they shouldn’t.”

“Invented after some barracking at a gig which she was at on her own, to complicate things Billy Nomates is neither an alter ego or a stage name, more of a wrong impression to be used selectively.”

“Its artistic birth came after a series of musical dead ends – the last ‘a mathematical folk band’ – that coincided with a bout of depression, a rut eventually snapped in 2019 at a gig by arch polemicists Sleaford Mods.”
