Recorded entirely on tape in Somerset and Wales, her fourth album marks the first time that Billie Marten has both written and co-produced (with Dom Monks) one of her records.

The title is taken from a tale she heard from a friend just before she was starting to create songs for the album, and the title track came soon after. it’s a metaphor where the gift of cherries stands for offering someone your love; doing anything you can to make them happy. “Dropping Cherries,” she begins, “is such a strong, visceral image that I tried to channel throughout recording in Somerset and Wales, to capture the vibrancy, unpredictability, and occasional chaos one experiences within a relationship.”
