'There’s No Song About a Stone' is my first 'non-debut album', recorded and produced by me at home. I call it a 'non-debut album' because I have long been making music in different forms, from death metal to alternative folk, so it feels strange calling it a 'debut album'. It is the product of years of songwriting and performing solo as Bity Booker.
I do take my time making things in a way that makes me happy, out of the commercial sphere and outside of norms and rules. I like to think of my creations as something organically formed and shaped by time, dreams, thoughts, rain and wind. These tape recordings feel very much alive, in the background you can hear sounds of birds, people, the sounds of London, all of which were in the room with me while recording. This album includes some of my favourite songs, some of which you may have already heard at my gigs and some never heard before. It is my favourite thing that I have ever made so far, I hope you will love it. Bity x

ALBUM REVIEWS

'It stands apart from the regular singer–songwriter crowd thanks to its ethereal detachment, its deep connection to the natural world, its refusal to sand down the oddities that make it breathe. Booker is flying her freak flag with pride, and the result is a record that will stand out wherever it is heard; this is the sound of someone fully unleashing their creative essence into the world and trusting it to find its way. Should the stars align favourably, this singer and these songs will do just that.'
Danny Neill, Fruit Tree Records

‘Songs “organically formed and shaped by time, dreams, thoughts, rain and wind.” Bity Booker turns on the charm and adds dustings of humour and wicked glee on There’s No Song About A Stone, her “first non-debut album”.’
John Barlass, At The Barrier

‘Available as limited edition CD and blue marbled vinyl as well as Bandcamp download and beautifully illustrated by Booker’s hand-drawn sketches, there may not be a song about a stone, but it‘s all rock solid lovely.’
Mike Davies, Folking.com

‘It was somewhat odd to hear this album for the first time, with so many of the songs being familiar from her live shows. It was like greeting an old friend and I listened to them with a smile on my face. These are warm gentle songs, a balm against a world that seems anything but at the moment whilst still having some deeper meanings and making some pertinent points.’
Tony Birch, Fatea.com

‘It‘s certainly not all light and whimsical though and darker themes are explored in songs like ‘The Ballad of Lost Town’ and ‘A Tear ’. Whatever the subject matter, Booker ‘s beguiling honesty as a performer and natural gift as a storyteller shine through.’
Darren Johnson, Darren Music Blog

‘Another reviewer has said: “As much as I love a good wall of sound music that is able to bring its message across without going bigger than it absolutely needs to, is pretty much the expert level of songwriting to me.“ And I think that captures what is going on here. Booker knows exactly where to stop to retain the simplicity and the power of her songs.’
Louella, Folk Longon Magazine (August/September 2026 edition)
