\"\"<\/a>Seemingly untouched by the global crisis as much as any passing trend, Billy Childish continues to swell his catalogue at an amazing rate. After CTMF\u2019s \u2018Last Punk Standing\u2019, comes the first of four albums by his latest project, The William Loveday Intention. Yes; four albums, already in the can. Joined by James Taylor and Dave Tattersall, \u201cPeople Think\u2026\u201d has the flavour of a western-themed record. The Medway Delta is augmented by tales from the saddle, while Billy\u2019s voice remains firmly in the Kent marshlands.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The production is lush, as befits the \u2018widescreen\u2019 feel of most of the songs here. Violins and mariachi trumpets enhance songs like \u2018My Love For You\u2019, which has the richness of The Urban Voodoo Machine, while \u2018Again And Again\u2019 and \u2018This Wondrous Day\u2019 reminds me of Dan Sartain\u2019s recent \u2018Blue Prairie\u2019 album, though I imagine that Billy has cast an influence on them already.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The richer sound suits the songs and the cinematic feel throughout, but there are still the Lo-Fi elements you\u2019d expect; the insistent, monotone keyboard riff of the title track, which manages to name check Kylie Minogue, and the fiddle led lament of \u2018The Bitter Cup\u2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m guessing that it\u2019s Julie singing on \u2018You\u2019re The One I Idolise\u2019, though I don\u2019t have all the details to hand. A sweet song that echoes some slower T Rex tunes. Then there\u2019s the skeletal blues riff of \u2018My Father Was A Railroad Man\u2019, one of the oldest riffs, that John Lee Hooker must have heard as a child.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is an interesting side-step from Billy, and bears repeated listens. What the next three albums will bring, only he knows, but this is very promising.<\/p>\n
