Instrumental duo Sisters Of… sets an emotionally raw tone with their latest single, “Marie.” The track, the first release from their upcoming EP Marie / Michel (out on January 10th)l, is a masterclass in weaving intricate post-rock and metal influences into a narrative of loss and recovery.
“Marie” opens with a tranquil ambiance that belies its emotional weight. The duo layer delicate guitar lines over steadily intensifying percussion, allowing an ebb and flow that captures the push-and-pull of grief with an unflinching authenticity. The abrupt end leaves one suspended by mirroring the unresolved nature of personal loss.
On the song, Sisters Of… shares,
“The song’s inception came from a feeling of loss. Missing someone. Losing someone.”
That sentiment is deeply embedded in the track’s evolution, from its meditative beginnings to a climactic peak of turbulence and tension. This interplay between calm and chaos showcases the band’s ability to evoke complex emotions through purely instrumental means.
The duo’s meticulous approach to composition shines by creating a sound that feels expansive yet tightly focused. “Marie” is an unforgettable entry point to the new EP and offers a compelling glimpse into the depth and artistry that is to come.
