The Bernadette Maries, a Brussels-based band formed in 2024, are currently working toward their debut album, Soft, due September 18th, 2026 on Géographie.
ESO, a layered, evolving track, unfolds in shifting sequences that feel like fragments of a dream. Set to appear on the upcoming record, it moves from a textured nugaze foundation into fluid, immersive drum ’n’ bass. The track overflows with a beautiful weightiness, sentimentality, and softness, building an immersive wall of guitars while transitioning through various passages to create something distinct.
The band sits within a newer wave reshaping shoegaze, part of a generation exploring what they describe as “post-digital rock,” drawing from their influences to arrive at something grounded in the present.
