ALBUM REVIEW
Bill Fay is an enigmatic UK based singer, songwriter and pianist whose work is impossible to categorise. His late 60’s early and 70’s work has a strong cult following, and is highly regarded by many music journalists, and is dark and haunting with songs rarely going over 3 minutes. Bill was originally signed to Decca, and between 1967 and 1971 the label released a beautifully odd single (“Some Good Advice”/”Screams In The Ears”) and two excellent albums (the lush orchestrated Bill Fay and the rawer Time Of The Last Persecution). Bill’s fantastic songs have touched and inspired many- his fans include country rockers Wilco, songwriter/producer Jim O’Rourke, Ben Chasny of Six Organs Of Admittance and David Michael of Current 93. He continues to record still. "Screams In the Ears" recently featured as the Film Four trailer music.
