As part of an incredibly productive year by one of the world’s most productive and cherished artists, Billy Childish releases a new LP by The William Loveday Intention as part of his attempt at “a career in a year”.

“The Baptiser is titled after John The Baptiser, Christ’s teacher who proclaimed that you don’t need to make blood sacrifices in the temple of Jerusalem to have communion with God – it’s direct one to one in the desert, wearing a camel hair shirt and eating the fruits of the honey locust tree.

The LP has many spiritual highs and blaming lows. It should move and sound like the contents of a thinking mind.”
