Bristol-based songwriter and musician Billy Nomates has just announced her third album Metalhorse, and it's set to be a goodun'. Coming to our attention via her guest turn on Mork n Mindy by Sleaford Mods, Nomates has well and truly come into her own by now. A concept album based "around the image of a dilapidated funfair, representing the tumultuousness of life", Metalhorse features special guest The Stranglers' Hugh Cornwell! - Flying Out
Metalhorse is Billy Nomates’ third studio release, following 2023’s critically acclaimed CACTI and her self-titled 2020 debut. A concept album revolving around the image of a dilapidated funfair, representing the tumultuousness of life—risk and pleasure, danger and exhilaration.
The 11 new songs here explore blues, folk, and piano-driven arrangements that take Billy Nomates’ stark punk sound in a more pastoral direction. 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.
