A concept album revolving around the image of a dilapidated funfair, representing the tumultuousness of liferisk and pleasure, danger and exhilaration.The 11 new songs here explore blues, folk, and pianodriven arrangements that take Billy Nomates stark punk sound in a more pastoral direction. Metalhorse is the first Billy Nomates album to be made in a studio and with a full band, the lineup including bass player Mandy Clarke KT Tunstall, The Go Team and drummer Liam Chapman Rozi Plain, BMX Bandits, plus a special feature from The Stranglers frontman Hugh Cornwell on 34Dark Horse Friend.34Metalhorse is a balancing of extremes. Reckoning with loss, material insecurity, and trying to stay true to yourself against an increasingly unpredictable backdrop of global chaos, the scales could easily have tipped towards darkness. But the more Maries has had to weather, the more precious those smaller moments of happiness have become.Metalhorse begs the listener to find their own funfair there will always be things that feel perilous. At the same time, you have to marvel at the lights while theyre still on. Dancing with those feelings of uncertainty and joy, Metalhorse is awash with both pain and perseverance.
