In summer 2024, prolific British singer-songwriter Billie Marten recorded Dog Eared in New York with producer Phil Weinrobe and a stellar lineup, including Núria Graham, Josh Crumbly, Mike Haldeman, Shahzad Ismaily, Sam Evian, Maia Friedman, Mauro Refosco, Vishal Nayak, and Sam Amidon. Featuring contributors linked to artists like Kamasi Washington, Moses Sumney, and David Byrne, Dog Eared is a warm, textured album that marks a subtle yet confident evolution from Billie’s earlier work. Embracing change while staying true to herself, Billie asserts her place not only atop British contemporary folk but among the finest British songwriters overall.
