Billy Nomates, the project of UK songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Tor Maries, has announced news of her new studio album, CACTI, that will be released on January 13th, 2023 on Invada Records. Recorded at her flat and Invada Studios, CACTI is a the response to here 2020 debut album, with gained support from luminaries such as Iggy Pop, Florence Welch and Steve Albini.

With the album news Billy Nomates has also shared new single, “balance is gone” and its accompanying video directed by NWSPK, which tackles those struggles head on, charting her attempts to find purpose. About the song, Tor says: “It’s a lot to ask, balance. Does anybody feel on kilter? Has anybody achieved all that harmony? I don’t think it’s a unique chase. And some days, it’s good to acknowledge it got up and left the room.”

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.”
