Billy Nomates has released her latest single, ‘vertigo’. It’s the final preview of her new album, ‘CACTI’, which is due for release this Friday (January 13).
Speaking about the track, Maries said: “I think ‘vertigo’ scratches around the soul crushing apathy you can feel for achieving or feeling life’s big things…”
On the album, she continues: “Writing CACTI took just over a year. I wrote very intensely and then none at all. (This seems to be the way I work best). I picked up old drum machines, mapped out things in my kitchen with the same small micro keyboard I always use and then raided the cupboards and rooms at Invada Studios, to play and experiment with old synths, an upright piano, this weird organ thing. I hope everyone finds their own narrative in CACTI. I think it’s about surviving it all.”
To celebrate the release of ‘CACTI’, Maries will be embarking on a spring UK and European tour, including her biggest headline show to date, taking place at the O2 Forum Kentish Town, London. Other notable dates include Cardiff’s Tramshed, Nottingham’s Rescue Rooms and Manchester’s New Century.
