Gill Landry's new album Skeleton At The Banquet is out today! The album is quickly becoming regarded as a career-high and recognised as Gill's most accomplished work to date. He describes his fifth solo outing and first album since 2017’s Love Rides A Dark Horse, Skeleton At The Banquet as "a series of reflections and thoughts on the collective hallucination that is America."Nobody's Coming is the second single to be taken from the album and follows the release of I Love You Too, the first single released earlier this month.
