Introducing: Billy Momo
Like a bastard child of Sam Sparro hit ‘Black & Gold’ , the churning, stratospheric indie of Arctic Monkeys and the lofi-twee-folk-rock of Rilo Kiley, Swedish newcomers Billy Momo are certainly out on a limb.
A strange collision of worlds, their highly polished futuristic folk reaches it’s zenith on new record Drunktalk which is released today on Hype Music. If you’re an avid fan of Breaking Bad, you might recognise new single Wishing Ain’t No Sin from the Better Call Saul trailer – if you’re not, that sentence will mean absolutely nothing to you.
After many years working as musicians in other people’s bands, Tomas Juto and Oskar Hovell decided to commence a project where the creative decisions were their own. The duo escaped to a lodge in the woods to begin work on new material and emerged from isolation as ‘Billy Momo’, the name they lovingly gave to ‘a common alter ego, an illusion of their own, a sort of pet ghost’ they discovered there.
