Mary Bleeds is a trio from Irish capital Dublin founded in 2019. Guilherme, Paulo, and Leticia have now released their self-titled debut album. The nine-track work is a vinyl-only release limited to 300 copies which can be order on the band's website and their bandcamp profile. Some tracks are also available on Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube. In the following lines I will tell you why you should not hesitate getting one of those physical copies.
As a little side note: I had to censor the cover artwork. Unfortunately, a female nipple is still considered graphic enough to ban me on social media. It happened before when I published a review of HIDE's album "Castration Anxiety".
Mary Bleeds' debut album is a dark and resolute journey through the struggles of our current zeitgeist. The band concerns issues of misogyny and sexism, patriarchy and injustice, violence and religion, propaganda and false information. It is a dystopian image that Mary Bleeds present in their nine songs - so gloomy and inconvenient, one might almost forget that this is our reality, the band sings about. But these are not stories of giving up or throwing the towel that the three talented musicians present. Instead, "Mary Bleeds" is the soundtrack for those who resist the dark forces of our present.
Mary Bleeds revive the sound of the 1990s. Their debut album is an impressive picture painted with a huge palett of dark colours. Grunge meets Post Punk meets Stoner Rock meets Alternative. "Mary Bleeds" is a sedated dance through a dim kaleidoscope with plenty of dainty pirouettes. Somewhere between resistance and desolation, between Joy Division and Alice in Chains, between thick clouds and hope-raising sun rays, Mary Bleeds have created a stunning work of sonic arts.
