Maribel [Nor]


Maribel is a quartet from Oslo, Norway, and these guys have what it takes to be the next big thing from the north. Their sound can be put in the same category as the noise and shoegaze-oriented bands from the 80s, like My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and Spacemen 3, and it is obvious that the four members in the band have studied their musical references closely. They paint out large canvases of sound, carpets of reverberated guitar-drones, energetic and minimalistic drumpatterns repeat and repeat, some dreamy vocals can be heard far in the background. It’s noisy, dark and chaotic, and at the same time it feels dreamy, warm, comfortable and meditative.
