Three things struck me about Billy Nomates when I first heard her work - vulnerability, humanity and what a bloody exciting talent.
I first saw Tor perform live when she supported the Sleaford Mods at the 100 Club in September 2020. She played with such charisma - perfectly DIY, raw and defiant intensity with gallows humour vulnerability, it was a perfectly razor sharp crossover that gave me a feeling that she is giving herself a massive amount of freedom to musically do whatever she wants.
Her second album, Cacti, was released on 13 January 2023 and it’s wonderful to see that musical freedom flourishing into what is a really fantastic record. I love the symbolism that Tor mentions of how cacti use their resilience to survive in hostile environments.
We also chat about her upbringing, her dad's slightly out of tune piano, empathy, identity, gut instinct, true wealth and the incredible power of being in tune with trees and nature.
