Manon Meurt

**Manon Meurt** is a Swiss post-punk/darkwave band known for crafting moody, atmospheric soundscapes that blend brooding basslines, ethereal vocals, and shoegaze-inspired textures. Emerging in the early 2010s, the band takes its name from the French phrase meaning "Manon Dies," nodding to the tragic romantic themes of the classic novel *Manon Lescaut*. Their music often explores existential themes and emotional intensity, delivered with a minimalist yet haunting aesthetic that resonates deeply within Europe’s underground music scene.

With releases like *MMXVIII* (2018) and tracks such as "Unravel" and "Mirrors," Manon Meurt has honed a signature sound that merges icy synths, driving rhythms, and introspective lyrics. They’ve built a cult following through their immersive live performances and commitment to a DIY ethos, often channeling raw, unfiltered energy into both recordings and shows. While keeping details about their lineup relatively low-key, the band continues to evolve, balancing shadowy atmospherics with a knack for melodic hooks that linger long after the music stops.
