Billy Nomates (Coloured vinyl)
Off the back of her critically acclaimed self-titled debut album released last year on Invada Records, Billy Nomates returns with her new EP, ‘Emergency Telephone’. The EP is pressed on ‘Ocean Blues Blue’ vinyl and housed in a deluxe spined sleeve with digital download card included. With huge support from BBC 6Music, the year came to a climax when she was asked by Iggy Pop to step into his shoes to cover his Christmas show and, together with featuring on the new Sleaford Mods single ‘Mork n Mindy’, Billy Nomates has proved herself to be one of the most original and respected new artists coming through this year. ‘Emergency Telephone’ sees Billy Nomates develop her unique sound and unflinching lyrics. Of the new EP she says, “‘Emergency Telephone’ is predominantly about communication breakdowns; personally, mentally, physically. A strange thing to happen while communication has never had so many channels. Perhaps we need a direct line.”
