About me

Two lovers create an album about memories they never had

Michelle and Olivier, two outsiders who never felt like belonging to this world, shaped their feelings, grief and melancholy, into their first album ‘Strangers’. Not only from sharing a family-less deep rooted sorrow, but in defiance to make the best out of it, the couple’s concern for the unknown drove their creativity into this sonic experience. "Strangers' expresses a longing for a time and place that one remembers but never experienced.

 

BIO

You would never guess that ‘Of Blood and Mercury’ finds its roots in extreme music. Despite achievements with their other bands, worldwide touring and releasing albums, the couple felt limited within the genre. A will to explore alternative styles united the two souls into this new project. In February 2019 they self-released their first ep. The debut album «Strangers» was released in April 2020 on Consouling Sounds Records. Their music is described as a mix of darkpop, dreampop and dark ethereal disco. With fragile darkness, ‘Strangers’ tells us about the memories they never had.
