BATS FEET FOR A WIDOW (TURQUOISE VINYL)

The UK avant-gardes rising star, Bristol-based multi-instrumentalist Bingo Fury is announcing his debut album Bats Feet For A Widow due out 16 February via tastemaking label state 51. Filled with noir elegance, Bats Feet For A Widow is an album that revels in extremity. The album was recorded in a local church in Bristol, taking inspiration from the musicians complex relationship with his strong religious upbringing. The influence of the church building resonates throughout the album. Bats Feet For A Widow is full of strange experiments, obscure references, offbeat one-liners, heart-breaking sentimentality and surging creativity. At the heart of it all is Bingo Furys crooning bass vocal, lending a vivid and slyly humorous voice to universal themes of love and pain. Alongside the album announcement, Bingo Fury is releasing new single Leather Sky, a tender piano ballad charged with real emotion and a heartbreaking cornet refrain played by band member Harry Furniss. In this cinematic track full of paralysing despair, the musician sings: You know Im trying to give you everything / It all gets in the way.
