London based Australian vagabond Billy Shears slots somewhere in between Lou Reed, Elliot Smith, and  Friedrich Nietzsche.  His distinct blend of bare-bones folk and deliberated lyricism challenges the norm and rallies against unnecessary restrictions. Adhering to a one take recording ethos, seeking to capture the transient lucidity of emotional upheaval, the spur of the moment method documents ‘then and there’, without a backward glance.
