SWING. A song written mostly about being on one.
This one nearly didnât make it, but Philip Weinrobe reminded me that not all soft things are beautiful, itâs important to be rough around the edges sometimes.

Remember when I went to NZ at the start of this year? Well, I also made a video with the formidable @SPORTSTEAMFILMS out in Piha - home of Jane Campionâs The Piano, one of my favourite settings and scores of all time. Iâm so glad we got to film there. We sat down together to sculpt ideas and their brilliant minds came up with this, thank you Sports Team for your wisdom, wit, and general legendary statusness.

Me and Joe Wheatley sat down to face another album's worth of visuals, and decided to bunch them all into one short film that really captured this album's essence of live performance. This is the first take, of a series of one-shot takes, shot in the house we did all the stills in. Huge thank you to the outstanding crew members, delectable musicians, and Dom Monks and Milo Ferreira-Hayes for capturing the live sound. This was an enormous feat to pull off and I'm so very proud of us all. When I first saw this back I couldn't bare the thought of putting it out, it's not the best performance by far, but my goodness me is it real. Love to all x

Billie Marten loves to leave her mark on a good bookâunderlining important passages, scribbling ideas in the margins, folding the corners of pages into dog ears to mark her place. The 10 songs of Dog Eared serve that purpose, telling the story of who she was as she wrote and recorded it, cleaving her adolescence from her adulthood in order to move forward. She is the songwriter who finds wisdom in horses and encourages self-reflection while realizing she has barely begun her own. She is the singer who makes the chorus of âGoodnight Moonâ as beautiful as a lunar corona and smartly lets dissonance slip between her voice and the band around her as she watches something she loves disappear during âCrown.â Marten is a consummate singer-songwriter who has dared to push beyond the limitations of that form and make a stunning record that marks a new page, suggesting what comes next through the strength and beauty of whatâs right here.
Dog Eared is out now via Fiction Records.
