Bill Fay – “War Machine” + Who Is The Sender? Details

British singer songwriter Bill Fay released an album in 2012 called Life Is People after a 40-year silence, and it looks like he’s ready to keep talking. Today he detailed the follow-up album, Who Is The Sender?, which will be out in April, and shared the first track “War Machine.” As you might expect from the title, it’s a stately lament about the capitalistic militarization our modern world. Political anthems can easily be undercooked or overdone, but Fay channels personal self-indictment along with cultural commentary, punctuating the mellow, sweeping strings with blasts organ. What’s most disheartening is this song would’ve been just as apt 40+ years ago as it is now. Still, it’s beautiful. Listen below.
