Billie Marten is pleased to share a fifth track from her forthcoming album, Dog Eared.
“Clover” is the latest single from her forthcoming album, Dog Eared, out 18th July via Fiction Records. Following “Swing”, “Crown”, “Feeling,” and “Leap Year”, “Clover” is a beautifully crafted, playful tune “built of contradictions and oxymorons”. It’s another telling example of Billie’s prowess to step left of centre from the box marked ‘folk’ and into somewhere more lucid, where the likes of Feist or Lucy Dacus currently operate.
Of the track, Billie says: “A song about feeling small but needing to appear big. It’s a note on power and inequality. Most of this record talks about age and experience and relevance, something that’s clogged my mind since I began music. I carry a lot of premature worry with me, and that’s something that comes from starting an adult life as a teenager I suppose. I gained the human affliction of inventing things before they happen. I’m a multitude of anxieties.”
“Clover” is streaming now. Listen HERE Dog Eared is released on Friday 18th July via Fiction Records. Pre-order the record HERE.
Following a lengthy run of shows in support of Tennis across North America, Billie will return to the US and Canada in September for a headline stint and is pleased to announce another 10-date headline run in November. Núria Graham will support on select North American dates.
Billie Marten heads back to the UK for three outdoor shows in support of Elbow, a headline solo show at Warwick Arts Centre in Coventry and a slot on Glastonbury’s Acoustic Stage on 27th June.
