Description
Release Date Friday 21st November 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.
A special 2CD edition of the classic debut album, including the EP ‘Emergency Telephone’ for the first time on CD.
The fierce, funny, outspoken debut album received huge praise and success in the UK and EU, with huge support from BBC 6 Music.
The songs on her debut album all come from a place of defiance; rebellion against Brexit. Against soul-sapping, dead-end jobs and zero-hours contracts. Against gender inequality, sexual harassment and festivals with obligatory female acts hidden in the small print.
Billy Nomates’ songs lampoon the same bleak reality satirised by her beloved Scarfolk website and explored so abrasively in the fringe theatre she finds solace in.
Musically, there are snatches of Nick Cave’s rumbling sprechgesang; the “off-the-wall-ness of musicians like Captain Beefheart”, the groovesome lofi art-rock of Sonic Youth and the brassy Americana of Emmylou Harris.
What dominates, though,is a feeling of release. Of letting it all out.
A BBC 6Music ‘Album Of The Year’
“Album Of The Week” - Brooklyn Vegan
“Billy Nomates is therefore what happens when you discard outside perceptions, pause people-pleasing and discover the power of self-expression” - Loud & Quiet
