Billie Marten plays a Sofa Session for Jo, including music from her brand new album Flora Fauna.
Built on the minimalist acoustic folk foundations she made a name for herself with, Marten鈥檚 third album 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.
鈥淚 wasn鈥檛 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鈥檙e 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.鈥
