Silver Vinyl.Metalhorse is Billy Nomates' third studio release,following 2023's critically acclaimed, CACTI, and herself-titled 2020 debut. A concept album revolvingaround the image of a dilapidated funfair,representing the tumultuousness of life - risk andpleasure, danger and exhilaration.The 11 new songs here explore blues, folk and pianodrivenarrangements that take Billy Nomates' starkpunk sound in a more pastoral direction. Metalhorseis the first Billy Nomates album to be made in astudio and with a full band, the line-up inc. bassplayer Mandy Clarke (KT Tunstall, The Go! Team)and drummer Liam Chapman (Rozi Plain, BMXBandits) plus a special feature from The Stranglersfrontman Hugh Cornwell on "Dark Horse Friend".Metalhorse is a balancing of extremes. Reckoningwith loss, material insecurity, and trying to stay trueto yourself against an increasingly unpredictablebackdrop of global chaos, the scales could easily havetipped towards darkness, but the more Maries hashad to weather, the more precious those smallermoments of happiness have become. Metalhorsebegs the listener to find their own funfair; there willalways 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 andperseverance.
