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.”
