Album Notes & Community Reviews

Bill Fay's sophomore album is a harrowing, deeply prophetic masterpiece of British folk rock. 'Time of the Last Persecution' weaves profoundly melancholic, beautifully mellow acoustic arrangements with intensely introspective, apocalyptic religious philosophy, resulting in a remarkably sombre and fiercely poetic singer-songwriter document.
