Reviews and Comments

Following his standout sets at End Of The Road and Green Man festivals this summer, Bingo Fury is back with a new single 'Cash For Chloe,' the final single to be lifted from his forthcoming debut EP 'Mercy's Cut' which is out on 7 October. On 'Cash For Chloe,' Bingo Fury’s world-weary vocals sit atop off-kilter jazz rhythms and twitchy cornet solos. Always playful with structure, the track jumps between disorienting frenzy and wistful, self-reflective romance.

Bingo Fury's debut EP ‘Mercy’s Cut’ draws from his already established sophisticated yet raw sound, scattergunning between stark, romantic noir ballads, frantic no-wave, and polished jazz. Filled with the cinematic, the EP is both beautiful and unsettling, and underlines Bingo Fury’s complete abundance of compositional ideas.

"Cash for Chloe feels like trying to wrestle out of a straight jacket. It’s crossing the bridge between the book of revelation and a doorbell tone. I think it’s the one that I’m most proud of. Myself and the band struggled getting our heads round it for a while. Songs that put up a fight while you’re writing them but come through in the end tend to be the best ones."

Whilst Bingo’s first single ‘Big Rain’ was an inky tale of alienation with a closing-time cabaret charm, the follow-up ‘Happy Snake’ was the sound of a mind unravelling at the seams. His later single, ‘Birchall & King’s’ was a chaotic whirlwind clocking in at one minute and thirty seconds. The tracks have won support from the likes of BBC 6 Music, Loud and Quiet, DIY, NME and more.

Although very much a solo songwriter, Bingo’s compositional process relies on contributions from his entire band - bassist Megan Jenkins, and drummer Henry Terrett have been playing together since their teens. In one of their various incarnations, they recruited local avant-jazz legend, cornet player Harry ‘Iceman’ Furniss, with guitarist and percussionist Rafi Cohen later completing the line-up.

Bingo Fury’s name is pulled straight from one of his lyric sheets - a perfect representation of the on-the-nose mystique surrounding the project: what you see is what you get, but ‘what it means’ is far less certain. Following sold-out headline dates earlier this year, he supported Penelope Isles on their April tour, and performed a special one-off Cinematic improv show at The Ivy House on July 28th.

Joined by the full band, Bingo Fury will be going out on a co-headline tour with Robbie & Mona in October.
