Based in Lyon, France, MARGUTERIE continues to carve out a bold identity in the alternative pop space with the release of “Roman Empire.”Drawing inspiration from artists such as James Blake, Sevdaliza, Billie Eilish, and Oklou, the band makes these influences feel personal and unique.
The production in “Roman Empire“ is careful, allowing the emotional charge of the song to come through in careful doses. The metaphor of the “Roman Empire” is a powerful symbol of obsession and repetitive thoughts, especially about death, love, and desire. Marguerite Tricaud’s vocal delivery is the key to the track’s impact.
Denis Andrea’s composition and mix provide a clean, atmospheric setting, balancing openness with futuristic textures. Marie Pieprzownik’s mastery adds an emotional punch to the song. The cover art by Pierre Faure-Giovagnoli is a nice visual match for the release’s dark, contemplative feel. With “Roman Empire,” MARGUTERIE makes a progressive track that embodies the emotional ambivalence that characterizes much of today’s alternative music.
