Billie Marten is pleased to announce details of her fifth album, Dog Eared, out 18th July. Pre-order HERE.
To coincide with its announcement, Billie shares a new single, the album’s opener “Feeling”. Listen HERE.
A full, extensive run of live dates that take in North America, the UK, Ireland and Europe are listed below, including a run of North American support shows with Tennis, and outdoor stages with Elbow in the UK. A headline tour of the UK later this year will call at the O2 Forum Kentish Town, Billie’s biggest headline show to date. Ticket details can be found at billiemarten.com.
The prolific British singer-songwriter headed to New York in the summer of 2024 to record with producer Phil Weinrobe at his Sugar Mountain studio, alongside an all-star cast of musicians.
Dog Eared is a warm, rich and textured record that bristles with confidence and self-belief, with Billie already approaching the prolificacy of a “lifer” with so much life left to live. It’s a left turn from her previous recordings, albeit a subtle one, taken with a deftness of touch. A musician embracing change, while staying true to her core self. There’s a certain strength of conviction here that finds its voice more prominently in the extensive pool of her acclaimed American contemporaries, of which she now surely stands shoulder to shoulder with. With Dog Eared, Billie calmly posits herself at the top of the tree of not just British contemporary folk artists, but with British songwriters at large.
