SONG OF THE DAY The William Loveday Intention – People Think They Know Me (But They Don’t Know Me)

---

I’ve just spent the last few minutes trying to recall the name of the band this song reminds me of!  I got there in the end and it turns out that this IS actually the person it reminded me of! Ha! This is Billy Childish and he is back with a brand new and experimental project going by the name of The William Loveday Intention!

His voice is unmistakable but, for his latest project, his sound has slipped into a new and dusty realm.  Whilst some have said that this new reinvented sound is very similar to previous works, Childish himself claims that this has “a different feel to anything he has done before.” 

Inspired by classic spaghetti westerns and all things Ennio Morricone, some of his new offerings have a very desert/wilderness feel to them – take the project’s debut single, My Love For You, for instance!  This track appears on People Think They Know Me But They Don’t Know Me, the first of a four-album series which includes guest appearances from the likes of James Taylor (The Prisoners, JTQ), Dave Tattersall (The Wave Pictures) and trumpet player Tom Morley,  amongst others.  All four releases will be staggered over the coming Winter, with each being issued one per month.  The title track to this first album (which is out now on Damaged Goods Records) is what brought me here, so this is my feature of the day!
