Billie Marten is pleased to announce details of her fifth album, “Dog Eared”, out on the 18th
July via Fiction Records. 
  
The prolific British singer-songwriter headed to New York in the summer of 2024 to record with
producer Phil Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek, Laura Veirs) at his Sugar Mountain studio,
alongside an all-star cast of musicians. The likes of Catalan singer-songwriter/guitarist Núuria
Graham, bassist Josh Crumbly, virtuosic guitarist Mike Haldeman, multi-instrumentalist Shahzad
Ismaily, revered indie-rock musician Sam Evian, former Dirty Projectors vocalist/folk musician Maia
Friedman, Brazilian percussionist Mauro Refosco, drummer/multi-instrumentalist Vishal Nayak, and
acclaimed folk musician Sam Amidon sprinkle their gold dust over “Dog Eared”. A band packed with
talent and cumulative credits across records by Cassandra Jenkins, Kamasi Washington, Moses
Sumney, Robert Glasper, Tune-Yards, Empress Of, Nick Hakim, David Byrne, Atoms for Peace, Feist,
Bonnie “Prince” Billy, and now Billie Marten.
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.
