Instrumental duo SISTERS OF… has unveiled “Marie,” the first single from their upcoming EP, Marie / Michel, set for release on January 10th via Crowquill Records. This track offers a poignant and immersive listening experience, setting the tone for the two-movement EP that explores the emotional landscapes of loss, grief, and recovery.
“Marie” opens with an ethereal calm, evoking the sensation of floating weightlessly while carrying the profound weight of emotional turmoil. As the song builds, it becomes a reflection of grief’s duality—peaceful on the surface but churning with intensity underneath. The track culminates in an emotional crescendo, mirroring the struggle to stay afloat amid overwhelming waves of despair, before abruptly ending, leaving listeners suspended in its wake.
Describing the creative process, the band shares: “The song’s inception came from a feeling of loss. Missing someone. Losing someone. The opening visions a person floating in water. Weightless. But with the weight of the world bearing down. As the song intensifies, as do the waves. The subject is now struggling physically and emotionally. The physical waves mirror the waves of loss and devastation. As the song peaks, the heaviness of the music mirroring the heaviness of the moment. The subject’s struggle peaks. The abrupt end signifies the individual succumbing to their feelings, yet surviving to continue floating… but the anger builds.”
The single is a testament to SISTERS OF…’s ability to create cinematic soundscapes that communicate complex emotions without the need for words. Drawing inspiration from bands like RUSSIAN CIRCLES, ISIS, and MOGWAI, “Marie” layers intricate guitar work, powerful drumming, and evocative textures to craft a piece that feels both deeply intimate and universally relatable.
“Marie” is available now on all major streaming platforms. Fans of instrumental music and emotionally driven soundscapes won’t want to miss this stunning introduction to Marie / Michel.
