Billie Marten has announced her fifth album 'Dog Eared' with new single 'Feeling'
British folk artist Billie Marten reveals her fifth album 'Dog Eared' and releases new single 'Feeling', recorded in New York with producer Phil Weinrobe.
Billie Marten has announced her fifth album 'Dog Eared', set for release on 18th July via Fiction Records.
The British folk artist recorded the album in New York during summer 2024 with producer Phil Weinrobe at Sugar Mountain studio. The record features contributions from an array of musicians, including Núria Graham, Josh Crumbly, Mike Haldeman, Shahzad Ismaily, Sam Evian, Maia Friedman, Mauro Refosco, Vishal Nayak and Sam Amidon.
The announcement arrives alongside new single 'Feeling', which opens the ten-track album. Speaking about the track, Marten says: "I've discovered that I have a really particular long-term memory: I have specific sensory recollections from when I was two onwards, that I can recall easily now. One of these is marking out roads in my grandmother's patterned carpet, for my Dad's old 1950/60s toy cars to drive on. I used to trace patterns in everything: fabric seats at the dentist, carpets, wallpaper and walls, raindrops on car windows. Everything had a pattern to be noticed."
She continues: "Another strong memory is the feeling of big, warm hands when you're a child and how comforting and safe that feels. The notion of age being so far away from you, but you know it's a future inevitability, and that you're on your way there. The inarticulateness of that 'feeling' you can't describe yet, but you're aware of a push in the world that you don't yet understand."
