Marble Sounds - Marble Sounds (2022)

Marble Sounds, the band founded and fronted by Pieter Van Dessel, has been a household name in Belgian music for more than 10 years. Not bad for a band that, rather than sticking to one sound, tries to explore new musical grounds. After their first two records and the overwhelming success of single ‘Leave a Light on’, Van Dessel decided to step away from guitar-driven rock music and let the piano and strings play a more prominent role, bridging the gap between post rock and meticulously orchestrated pop.

2021 marks another turning point for the band, teaming up with a new label and booker, and taking their musical evolution even further. First single ‘Quiet’ sets the tone and hits the mark: its gorgeous piano, strings and vocal harmonies take the listener on a trip to a wondrous universe, where the likes of Sufjan Stevens, Damien Jurado and Ólafur Arnalds also roam. The fans are over the moon, the press are lyrical, and the song is all over the big radio stations in Belgium, the Netherlands and France. It even plays an important role in the new season of the acclaimed Netflix series ‘Undercover’.
