The final single from Joe Billy before the release of his new album ‘Fissure’, ‘Day Terrors’, is a drawn-out, existential, stream-of-consciousness ballad designed to sound like a somber nightmare occurring in reality. A new layer is added with each subsequent section, creating a continuous build that releases all that energy at the conclusion with a glimmer of hope that a better world is possible. It’s incredibly challenging not to feel moved by this piece, which is accompanied by soaring violin and trumpet solos, an upright bass, and many other instruments. Joe Billy’s song ‘Day Terrors’ was released on January 16, 2023.
