Finally, we have a new #1 in the Official Folk Albums Chart this month - @billie-marten.bsky.social with "Dog Eared". This warm, rich, and textured record is the sound of a musician who's embracing change, while staying true to her core self.

I love long form sleeve notes and stories with a record. Not only does @billie-marten.bsky.social’s ‘Dog Eared’ deliver on that front, the record itself is fantastic…as always. #Music #NewMusic #Vinyl #MusicSky

Lovely solo acoustic show from @billie-marten.bsky.social tonight at @roughtraderecords.bsky.social Nottingham. Her new album ‘Dog Eared’ is a strong contender for album of the year. Stunning.

Here lies the *somewhat* global tour, with the absolutely outstanding Le Ren for UK/EU and my formidable album partner Núria Graham.

I think this is all a really good idea, don’t you?

SWING. A song written mostly about being on one.

This one nearly didn’t make it, but Philip Weinrobe reminded me that not all soft things are beautiful, it’s 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 SPORTS TEAM out in Piha - home of Jane Campion’s The Piano, one of my favourite settings and scores of all time. I’m so glad we got to film there.
