Invada

<p>Invada Records was formed in 2002 by Geoff Barrow, Ashley Anderson, and Redg Weeks. Geoff and Ashley have been collaborating since 1998 and decided to establish the label together. In 2003, Geoff started Invada Records UK, focusing on developing a roster of artists from the UK that would also be released in Australia. As the label continues to grow, Invada is expanding its distribution network worldwide.</p>

<p>Billy Nomates is a talented artist who grew up in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, UK. With a background in various bands and projects, Billy's musical journey truly began when she moved to the south coast in 2018. In September 2019, she made her debut as Billy Nomates and quickly gained support from influential figures such as Sleaford Mods and Geoff Barrow. Known for her DiY and Lo-fi approach, Billy records at home using Garage Band and Acid software, often self-releasing tracks via Bandcamp. Despite the challenges posed by the Coronavirus pandemic, Billy persevered and completed her reworked debut album at INVADA.</p>

Back In Stock

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.&nbsp;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."&nbsp;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 6Music&nbsp;The album is pressed on transparent vinyl comes housed in a spined sleeve with double sided printed insert. The CD is presented as a card sleeve with 12 page lyric booklet.
