Billie Marten - Flora Fauna (2021) [Hi-Res]

Third studio album by the English singer-songwriter. Raised 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 Albums Chart). 'Flora 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.
