Billie Marten has announced her fourth record Drop Cherries for release on 7 April via Fiction Records. Recorded entirely on tape in Somerset and Wales late last summer, Drop Cherries marks the very first time that Billie Marten has both written and co-produced (with Dom Monks) one of her records; following critically-lauded 2021 album Flora Fauna, Feeding Seahorses by
Hand (2019) and Writing of Blues and Yellows (2016).
Flora Fauna was lavished with praise by the likes of CLASH (9/10), The Line Of Best Fit, Uncut, NME, Dork, The Independent, Gigwise (all 4* reviews) as well as The Sunday Times Culture and DIY in 2021. The record also landed multiple radio playlists at national broadcasters BBC Radio 1 (twice Hottest Record in the World for ‘Creature Of Mine’ and ‘Human Replacement’), BBC 6
Music (including a string of A List records) and Radio X.
The title is taken from a tale she heard from a friend just before she was starting to create songs for the album, and the title track came soon after. It’s a metaphor where the gift of cherries stands for offering someone your love; doing anything you can to make them happy. “Dropping cherries,” she begins, “is such a strong, visceral image that I tried to channel throughout recording in Somerset and Wales, to capture the vibrancy, unpredictability, and occasional chaos one
experiences within a relationship.
“Imagine stamping blood-red cherries onto a clean, cream carpet
and tell me that’s not how love feels.”
Tracklist: 1. New Idea 2. God Above 3. Just Us
4. I Can’t Get My Head Around You
5. Willow 6. Acid Tooth 7. Devil Swim 8. I Bend To Him 9. Nothing But Mine 10. Arrows 11. Tongue 12. This Is How We Move 13. Drop Cherries
