Six years after its Japan-only release on the After Hours label, Broken Horse is thrilled to announce the first European release of the much-talked- about but seldom-heard Fed, the second album by Liam Hayes’ Plush.


”Fed is beautifully excessive, ornamented with dazzling soul/pop arrangements. And the songs are glorious…” UNCUT *****

”Fed is a symphony of Burt Bacharach-inspired pop, blaxploitation-influenced soul and timeless balladeering, bound together by Liam Hayes’ uncompromising vision.” THE GUARDIAN *****

”Fed is something of a lost classic” MOJO ****

”It’s a banquet of sonic gorgeousness” NME 8/10

”Fed can be finally heard as a testament to Hayes’s widescreen obsessions”

Q ****


Hayes managed to maintain his love of music and his craft of songwriting that had been at the centre of his life since he was a child. As recording began and the album’s track listing began to take shape by selecting songs both old and new from his expanding songbook, a narrative of hope, loss and the love of music began to emerge.

”Music has defined me and it has always been there with me. I have had a lifelong relationship with it. It pretty much saved me when nothing else could. It has also, at points, pushed me close to the edge. That’s the kind of friend it is.”
