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.”
