    At times, Dog Eared can feel like being let into a luxurious, vintage cabin at dusk. Sheepskin rugs on wooden floors, low lighting, open windows. At other times, it’s at risk of becoming classy, crepuscular wallpaper. But given time and attention, the confident craft of the songwriting and mellow musicianship will sink their grooves into the soul.

    Overall, it's a gently entrancing and quietly elegant album. [Sep 2025, p.80]

    Still only 26, Marten's writing is a strong scaffold for an experienced live studio band, whose every flourish (the irresistible keyboard arpeggio on the breezy "Crown" is a particular delight) add depth to her words. [Aug 2025, p.33]

    An LP which brightly but undramatically shines with a fresh confidence - a proficient collection of songs, elevated by myriad guest musicians and a seemingly freed spirit.

    Thoughtfully constructed and bristling with quiet self-belief, ‘Dog Eared’ sounds both fresh and warm. Billie Marten shimmers with a chill confidence, offering clear-eyed portraits of her personal relationships that resonate with universal desires to love and be loved.

    Like its name, Billie Marten's fifth album is one to be dog-eared – revisited, rediscovered, and cherished.
