May 21, 2021These tracks are like messages in glass bottles, making their journey from one continent to another, across a calm sea. Pure serenity. ‘Flora Fauna’ is proof that a woman can be many things.
-
May 20, 2021It’s her most mature, vivid work yet – and would be impressive from an artist of any age.

May 20, 2021It’s a rich tapestry of sounds that comes straight from the heart. That might be Marten’s secret ingredient: no matter how left-field the compositions are, whether warming or breaking, there’s always a lot of heart in the music.

May 20, 2021Jumping between instrumentation and production styles, Flora Fauna feels a little disjointed at times, but overall this only serves to add to the feeling of rebirth.

May 20, 2021‘Flora Fauna’ is the sound of a measured spreading of Billie Marten’s wings - of careful progress. She’s still really young: there’s more to come.

Aug 30, 2021Surprised that this didn't get much attention, but I guess a lot of the indie girlies have released this year. Underrated gem.
