-
Billy
Nomates,
the
project
of
the
Bristol-based
songwriter,
producer
and
multi-instrumentalist
Tor
Maries,
announces
the
release
of
her
much
anticipated
second
studio
album,
CACTI,
on
13
January
2023
via
Invada
Records.
Recorded
at
her
flat
and
Invada
Studios,
CACTI
is
a
huge
step
up
for
the
artist,
who
received
widespread
critical
acclaim
for
her
eponymous
2020
debut
album,
with
heavy
airplay
across
BBC
Radio
6
Music
and
support
from
luminaries
such
as
Iggy
Pop,
Florence
Welsh
and
Steve
Albini.
Though
every
bit
as
unrepentant
as
Billy
Nomates’
debut,
CACTI
comes
from
a
much
more
exposed
place
and
sees
Tor
further
develop
her
instinctive,
inventive
songwriting
and
production.
Unafraid
to
wade
into
the
traumas
of
the
past
two
years
and
the
eerie
sense
of
apathy
that
lingers,
alongside
heartache
and
more
political
themes,
the
12-track
collection
openly
confronts
uncomfortable
truths,
as
Tor
puts
it,
"70-80%
of
being
bold
is
about
being
vulnerable
as
hell."
Maries
said:
“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.”
‘CACTI’
features
‘blue
bones’
and
‘balance
is
gone’
,
both
of
which
have
been
playlisted
at
BBC
