Billie Marten releases playful single ‘Clover’ ahead of new album ‘Dog Eared’

Billie Marten has released her brand new single ‘Clover’. The track comes as the latest offering from the Yorkshire-born, London-based artist’s fifth studio album ‘Dog Eared’, which is due on 18th July via Fiction Records. 

“A song about feeling small but needing to appear big,” explains Marten on the new single. “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,” she continues. 

“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.”  

You can listen to ‘Clover’ below.

The new track follows a string of teasers for the new project, including ‘Swing’, ‘Crown’, ‘Feeling’ and ‘Leap Year’, all of which will appear on ‘Dog Eared’. The new record was recorded last summer in New York with producer Phil Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek, Laura Veirs) at his Sugar Mountain studio. 

Alongside the release of ‘Dog Eared’, Marten also has a colossal amount of live shows over the summer and beyond. You can find her forthcoming live dates here:
