Electric Valley Records presents the upcoming debut album by French band Margarita!

Electric Valley Records presents French doom/sludge/shoegaze group Margarita’s upcoming debut full-length, Abysses of Melancholia, scheduled for October 9 on vinyl and across digital/streaming platforms. 
 
Margarita is a Paris-based trio, formed in 2022 by Julie, Julie, and Karen. They play heavy doom steeped in distortion and deep melancholy. Their songs dwell on inconsolable loss, disenchantment, unreachable redemption, and a visceral rejection of toxic masculinity. After releasing their self-titled EP in 2023, they played across France, Belgium, and Switzerland.

At its core, Margarita shares the impulse to expose inner chaos, to embrace going off track, and to turn vulnerability into something loud, raw, and unapologetic. Driven by a relentless need to follow darkness, the trio follows one rule: to black sabbath themselves into oblivion.

Margarita’s debut album, Abysses of Melancholia, follows a slow descent shaped by memory, anger, and loss. Throughout the record, the trio explores aching bodies, fractured identities, and a past that never really goes away. The record drifts through disappearing selves, lingering absences, and the emotional aftermath, examining how pain can both imprison and redefine those left to carry it.
 Blending doom, sludge, heavy psych, and shoegaze, Margarita builds dense, slow-burning tracks where brute force and fragility coexist. Heavy riffs meet layers of reverb and texture, creating a sound that is both crushing and introspective. For this album, the band added synth layers and electronic percussion to their usual guitar, bass, and drums setup, bringing more depth and a strong sense of melancholy to the songs.
