Aquarium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlora Fauna is the forthcoming third album from Billie Marten.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRaised in the rolling hills of North Yorkshire on artists such as Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, Joan Armatrading, and Kate Bush, Marten’s critically acclaimed debut album Writing of Blues and Yellows, was released in 2016 when she was still just 17, while its follow-up Feeding Seahorses By Hand was similarly lauded in 2019 (# 53 in UK album chart).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFlora Fauna, was recorded with Rich Cooper in London. Marten’s new material blends those signature hushed, resonant vocals with a rapid pulse and rich instrumentation, her inspirations now stretching from krautrockers Can, to Broadcast, Arthur Russell, and Fiona Apple.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilt on the minimalist acoustic folk foundations she made a name for herself with, Flora Fauna is a more mature, embodied album fostered around a strong backbone of bass and rhythm. Shedding the timidity of previous work in favour of a more urgent sound, the songs mark a period of personal independence for Marten as she learned to nurture herself and break free from toxic relationships - and a big part of that was returning to nature. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I wasn’t really treating myself very well, it was a bit of a disruptive time. All these songs are about getting myself out of that hole - they’re quite strong affirmations. The name Flora Fauna is like a green bath for my eyes. If the album was a painting, it would look like flora and fauna - it encompasses every organism, every corner of Earth, and a feeling of total abundance.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by Billie Marten and Rich Cooper \u003cbr\u003ePublished by BMG Music Publishing and Copyright Control\u003cbr\u003eExcept ‘Pigeon’, ‘Walnut’ and ‘Aquarium’, written by Billie Marten\u003cbr\u003ePublished by BMG Music Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced by Rich Cooper for 17Days Music\u003cbr\u003eEngineered by Rich Cooper and Neil Goody\u003cbr\u003eMixed by Matt Wiggins\u003cbr\u003eMastered by Matt Colton\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at The Premises Studios, London\u003cbr\u003eFeatures vocals by Guy Garvey (Elbow) on ‘Walnut’\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fiction","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37646319616156,"sku":"BMFFCD","price":12.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/Billie_Marten_Album_Artwork_Flora_Fauna_3000x3000_8157061e-84e1-495d-a65e-7e347ae52fab.jpg?v=1612026843","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/billie-marten-flora-fauna-cd","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
